This perspective article reviews arguments that glass-forming liquids are different from those
of standard liquid-state theory, which typically have a viscosity in the mPa· s range and …

In supercooled liquids, dynamical facilitation refers to a phenomenon where microscopic
motion begets further motion nearby, resulting in spatially heterogeneous dynamics. This is …

We study the glass transition by exploring a broad class of kinetic rules that can significantly
modify the normal dynamics of supercooled liquids while maintaining thermal equilibrium …

Many complex and disordered systems fail to reach equilibrium after they have been
quenched or perturbed. Instead, they sluggishly relax toward equilibrium at an ever-slowing …

We propose a computational strategy to quantify the temperature evolution of the timescales
and length scales over which dynamic facilitation affects the relaxation dynamics of glass …

Which phenomenon slows down the dynamics in supercooled liquids and turns them into
glasses is a long-standing question of condensed matter. Most popular theories posit that as …

Enormous enhancement in the viscosity of a liquid near its glass transition is a hallmark of
glass transition. Within a class of theoretical frameworks, it is connected to growing many …

Fig. 1. Imaginary parts of dynamic linear-response functions of glass-forming liquids of
different chemistry scaled to maximum loss and loss-peak frequency. Orange full curves and …

The steep increase of the relaxation time of glass forming liquids upon cooling is traditionally
ascribed to an impending entropy crisis: since the system has" nowhere to go", dynamics …

We study the motion of a domain wall on an ultrathin magnetic film using the magneto-
optical Kerr effect (MOKE). Our measurements were conducted at magnetic fields …
