A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

We combine the swap Monte Carlo algorithm to long multi-CPU molecular dynamics
simulations to analyze the equilibrium relaxation dynamics of model supercooled liquids …

Understanding the physics of glass formation remains one of the major unsolved challenges
of condensed matter science. As a material solidifies into a glass, it exhibits a spectacular …

Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under
a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet, we are still seeking a fundamental …

As one increases the concentration of a colloidal suspension, the system exhibits a dramatic
increase in viscosity. Beyond a certain concentration, the system is said to be a colloidal …

When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase
transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its …

Faced with desiccation stress, many organisms deploy strategies to maintain the integrity of
their cellular components. Amorphous glassy media composed of small molecular solutes or …

There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …
