Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

Despite decades of theoretical studies, the nature of the glass transition remains elusive and
debated, while the existence of structural predictors of its dynamics is a major open …

Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

Glasses are promising electrolytes for use in solid-state batteries. Nevertheless, due to their
amorphous structure, the mechanisms that underlie their ionic conductivity remain poorly …

Glasses are disordered materials that lack the periodicity of crystals but behave
mechanically like solids. The most common way of making a glass is by cooling a viscous …

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 …

Although it has long been recognized that dynamics in supercooled liquids might be
spatially heterogeneous, only in the past few years has clear evidence emerged to support …

Confocal microscopy was used to directly observe three-dimensional dynamics of particles
in colloidal supercooled fluids and colloidal glasses. The fastest particles moved …
