The race to the bottom: approaching the ideal glass?
Key to resolving the scientific challenge of the glass transition is to understand the origin of
the massive increase in viscosity of liquids cooled below their melting temperature (avoiding …

Colloidal hard spheres: Triumphs, challenges and mysteries
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 …

The glass transition in molecules, colloids and grains: universality and specificity
We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and
granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental …

Experimental determination of configurational entropy in a two-dimensional liquid under random pinning
A quasi two-dimensional colloidal suspension is studied under the influence of
immobilisation (pinning) of a random fraction of its particles. We introduce a novel …

The devil is in the details: pentagonal bipyramids and dynamic arrest
Colloidal suspensions have long been studied as a model for atomic and molecular
systems, due to the ability to fluorescently label and individually track each particle, yielding …
