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 …

Granular materials are of substantial importance in many industrial and natural processes,
yet their complex behaviours, ranging from mechanical properties of static packing to their …

A growing number of biological, soft, and active matter systems are observed to exhibit
normal diffusive dynamics with a linear growth of the mean-squared displacement, yet with a …

We study the plane shear flow of a dense assembly of dissipative disks using discrete
simulation and prescribing the pressure and the shear rate. Those shear states are steady …

The glass transition, extensively studied in dense fluids, polymers or colloids, corresponds to
a marked evolution of equilibrium transport coefficients on a modest change of control …

We examine the structure of the distribution of single particle displacements (van Hove
function) in a broad class of materials close to glass and jamming transitions. In a wide time …

Supercooled liquids and dense colloidal suspensions exhibit anomalous behaviour known
as 'spatially heterogeneous dynamics'(SHD), which becomes increasingly pronounced as …

Measuring, characterizing, and modelling the slow dynamics of glassy soft matter is a great
challenge, with an impact that ranges from industrial applications to fundamental issues in …

Despite the availability of elaborate varieties of nanoparticles, their assembly into regular
superstructures and photonic materials remains challenging. Here we show how flexible …
