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 materials as diverse as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions and granular
media can jam into a rigid, disordered state where they withstand finite shear stresses …

We provide here a brief perspective on the glass transition field. It is an assessment, written
from the point of view of theory, of where the field is and where it seems to be heading. We …

Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for
liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard …

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …

Granular materials such as sand, powders and foams are ubiquitous in daily life and in
industrial and geotechnical applications,,,. These disordered systems form stable structures …

For several atomistic models of glass formers, at conditions below their glassy-dynamics–
onset temperatures, T o, we use importance sampling of trajectory space to study the …

Amorphous glassy materials of diverse nature—concentrated emulsions, granular materials,
pastes, molecular glasses—display complex flow properties, intermediate between solid …

A kinetic model for the elastoplastic dynamics of a jammed material is proposed, which takes
the form of a nonlocal—Boltzmann-like—kinetic equation for the stress distribution function …

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