Glass is an integral part of the amorphous materials family that has shown great potential in
applications ranging from daily life to high-tech fields such as healthcare, architecture …

We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as
building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for …

We combine the swap Monte Carlo algorithm to long multi-CPU molecular dynamics
simulations to analyze the equilibrium relaxation dynamics of model supercooled liquids …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

When cooled or pressurized, polymer melts exhibit a tremendous reduction in molecular
mobility. If the process is performed at a constant rate, the structural relaxation time of the …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

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 …

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 …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

Icosahedral order has been suggested as the prevalent atomic motif of supercooled liquids
and metallic glasses for more than half a century, because the icosahedron is highly close …
