The glass transition is the most enduring grand-challenge problem in contemporary
condensed matter physics. Here, we review the contribution of colloid experiments to our …

Unlike a crystal, a glassy solid state displays slow internal relaxation processes besides
vibrational modes even when structural (α) relaxation is frozen. The precise nature of such …

The transformation of flowing liquids into rigid glasses is thought to involve increasingly
cooperative relaxation dynamics as the temperature approaches that of the glass transition …

We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and
granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental …

Despite the omnipresence of colloidal suspensions, little is known about the influence of
colloid shape on phase transformations, especially in nonequilibrium. To date, real-space …

State-of-the-art techniques for simulating deeply supercooled liquids require a high degree
of size polydispersity to be effective. While these techniques have enabled great insight into …

Motivated by the recent observation of liquid glass in suspensions of ellipsoidal colloids, we
examine the structure of (asymptotically) saturated RSA ellipse packings. We determine the …

We numerically elucidate the microscopic mechanisms controlling the relaxation dynamics
of a three-dimensional lattice glass model that has static properties compatible with the …

We examine the influence of the shape of dynamical heterogeneities on the Stokes-Einstein
(SE) and Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relations in quasi-two-dimensional suspensions of …

Geometrical frustration arises when the lattice geometry prevents local interaction energies
from minimizing simultaneously. Whether and how geometrically frustrated spins or charges …
