This review collects and describes experiments that employ colloidal suspensions to probe
physics in ordered and disordered solids and related complex fluids. The unifying feature of …

We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel
particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the …

We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and
granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental …

We investigate correlations between low-frequency vibrational modes and rearrangements
in two-dimensional colloidal glasses composed of thermosensitive microgel particles, which …

We characterize vibrational motion occurring at low temperatures in dense suspensions of
soft repulsive spheres over a broad range of volume fractions encompassing the jamming …

Analyzing the dynamics of a vibrated bidimensional packing of bidisperse granular disks
below jamming, we provide evidence of a Gardner phase deep into the glass phase. To do …

Many jammed particulate systems, such as granular and colloidal materials, interact via
repulsive contact forces. We find that these systems possess no harmonic regime in the …

Collective motion of large human crowds often depends on their density. In extreme cases
like heavy metal concerts and black Friday sales events, motion is dominated by physical …

The jamming scenario of disordered media, formulated about 10 years ago, has in recent
years been advanced by analyzing model systems of granular media. This has led to …

The study of the jamming transition of granular and colloidal systems, has lead to a
proliferation of theoretical and numerical results formulated in the language of the …
