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 …

Emergent facilitation and glassy dynamics in supercooled liquids
MR Hasyim, KK Mandadapu - Proceedings of the National …, 2024 - National Acad Sciences
In supercooled liquids, dynamical facilitation refers to a phenomenon where microscopic
motion begets further motion nearby, resulting in spatially heterogeneous dynamics. This is …

Intermittent relaxation and avalanches in extremely persistent active matter
We use numerical simulations to study the dynamics of dense assemblies of self-propelled
particles in the limit of extremely large, but finite, persistence times. In this limit, the system …
