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 …

Colloidal gels constitute an important class of materials found in many contexts and with a
wide range of applications. Yet as matter far from equilibrium, gels exhibit a variety of time …

Solutions of different polymers in the same solvent are incompatible as a rule and show
phase separation when they are mixed. H incompatibility is also to be observed in systems …

We describe the topological cluster classification (TCC) algorithm. The TCC detects local
structures with bond topologies similar to isolated clusters which minimise the potential …

Colloidal gels are prime examples of functional materials exhibiting disordered, amorphous,
yet metastable forms. They maintain stability through short-range attractive forces and their …

The transport of active particles may occur in complex environments, in which it emerges
from the interplay between the mobility of the active components and the quenched disorder …

“Sticky” spheres with a short-ranged attraction are a basic model of a wide range of
materials from the atomic to the granular length scale. Among the complex phenomena …

We review efforts to realise so-called mermaid (or short-ranged attraction/long ranged
repulsion) interactions in 3d real space. The repulsive and attractive contributions to these …

The study of atomic and molecular clusters has long been an active research field for both
experimentalists and theoreticians. For atomic clusters bound by simple isotropic potentials …

Colloidal gels are out-of-equilibrium structures, made up of a rarefied network of colloidal
particles. Comparing experiments to numerical simulations, with hydrodynamic interactions …
