Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

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

The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

We review recent research into elastic and plastic deformation of metallic glasses, with an
emphasis on making connections between developments in theory and simulation (largely …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

The low-frequency vibrational and low-temperature thermal properties of amorphous solids
are markedly different from those of crystalline solids. This situation is counterintuitive …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and developing technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

Amorphous solids lack long-range order. Therefore identifying structural defects—akin to
dislocations in crystalline solids—that carry plastic flow in these systems remains a daunting …

We analyze low-frequency vibrational modes in a two-dimensional, zero-temperature,
quasistatically sheared model glass to identify a population of structural “soft spots” where …

The development of new glassy materials is key for addressing major global challenges in
energy, medicine, and advanced communications systems. For example, thin, flexible, and …
