Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

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 …

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 …

Research on soft materials, including colloidal suspensions, glasses, pastes, emulsions,
foams, polymer networks, liquid crystals, granular materials, and cells, has captured the …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

Colloidal dispersions have been studied for decades as a result of their utility in numerous
applications and as models for molecular and atomic condensed phases. More recently, a …

Phase transitions significantly differ between 2D and 3D systems, but the influence of
dimensionality on the glass transition is unresolved. We use microscopy to study colloidal …

We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel
particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the …

This review collects and describes experiments that employ colloidal suspensions to probe
physics in ordered and disordered solids and related complex fluids. The unifying feature of …

Recent progress in the description of glassy relaxation and aging are reviewed for the wide
class of network-forming materials such as GeO 2, Ge x Se 1− x, silicates (SiO 2–Na 2 O) or …
