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 …

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 …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and develo** technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

We describe experiments using single-particle tracking in which mean-square displacement
is simply proportional to time (Fickian), yet the distribution of displacement probability is not …

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 …

In this review a systematic analysis of the potential energy landscape (PEL) of glass-forming
systems is presented. Starting from the thermodynamics, the route towards the dynamics is …

We provide a theoretical description of dynamical heterogeneities in glass-forming liquids,
based on the premise that relaxation occurs via local rearrangements coupled by elasticity …
