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 …

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 …

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 …

This review presents the effective temperature notion as defined from the deviations from the
equilibrium fluctuation–dissipation theorem in out-of-equilibrium systems with slow …

We show how dynamical heterogeneities in glass forming systems emerge as a
consequence of the existence of dynamical constraints, and we offer an interpretation of the …

This review reports on the research done during past years on violations of the fluctuation–
dissipation theorem (FDT) in glassy systems. It is focused on the existence of a quasi …

Memory and rejuvenation effects in the magnetic response of off-equilibrium spin glasses
have been widely regarded as the doorway into the experimental exploration of …

Rich out-of-equilibrium collective dynamics of strongly interacting large assemblies emerge
in many areas of science. Some intriguing and not fully understood examples are the glassy …

Slow relaxation occurs in many physical and biological systems.“Creep” is an example from
everyday life. When stretching a rubber band, for example, the recovery to its equilibrium …

The heterogeneity of glasses has critical influences on the properties. How heterogeneity
evolves during annealing is an intriguing cutting-edge question. In this work, the …
