  Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) has become one of the
central modeling approaches in nonequilibrium soft matter physics. Recent years
have seen the emergence of novel and interesting fields of application for
DDFT. In particular, there has been a remarkable growth in the amount of work
related to chemistry. Moreover, DDFT has stimulated research on other theories
such as phase field crystal models and power functional theory. In this
perspective, we summarize the latest developments in the field of DDFT and
discuss a variety of possible directions for future research.
