We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …

How does nonequilibrium activity modify the approach to a glass? This is an important
question, since many experiments reveal the near-glassy nature of the cell interior …

We compare glassy dynamics in two liquids that differ in the form of their interaction
potentials. Both systems have the same repulsive interactions but one has also an attractive …

Spontaneous persistent motions driven by active processes play a central role in
maintaining living cells far from equilibrium. In the majority of research studies, the steady …

We present the study of the structure–dynamics correlation for systems interacting via
attractive Lennard-Jones (LJ) and its repulsive counterpart, the Weeks–Chandler–Andersen …

Liquid structure carries deep imprints of an inherent thermal invariance against a spatial
transformation of the underlying classical many-body Hamiltonian. At first order in the …

We introduce a new measure of the structure of a liquid which is the softness of the mean-
field potential developed by us earlier. We find that this softness is sensitive to small …

In this work we study the relationship between the softness of a mean-field caging potential
and dynamics at the local level. We first describe the local softness, which shows a …

The dynamics within active fluids, driven by internal activity of the self-propelled particles, is
a subject of intense study in non-equilibrium physics. These systems have been explored …

Transport properties of a hard-sphere colloidal fluid are investigated by Brownian dynamics
simulations. We implement a novel algorithm for the time-dependent velocity-autocorrelation …
