Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

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 …

Lacking the structural information of crystalline solids, the origin of the relaxation dynamics
of metallic glasses is unclear. Here, we report the evolution of stress relaxation of high …

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 …

In this Perspective we summarize the most widely used definitions of free volume and
illustrate the differences between them, including the important distinction between total free …

This article gives an overview of excess-entropy scaling, the 1977 discovery by Rosenfeld
that entropy determines properties of liquids like viscosity, diffusion constant, and heat …

Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

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 …

Collective cell migration in tissues occurs throughout embryonic development, during wound
healing, and in cancerous tumor invasion, yet most detailed knowledge of cell migration …
