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

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

It is widely known that the low-temperature physical properties, such as the heat capacity
and thermal conductivity, of a disordered amorphous solid are markedly different from those …

Vibrational spectroscopy has continued use as a powerful tool to characterize ionic liquids
since the literature on room temperature molten salts experienced the rapid increase in …

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

Glassy solids exhibit a wide variety of generic thermomechanical properties, ranging from
universal anomalous specific heat at cryogenic temperatures to nonlinear plastic yielding …

Neutron and x-ray scattering represent two classes of state-of-the-art materials
characterization techniques that measure materials structural and dynamical properties with …

The recent construction of free electron lasers allows extending laboratory-based laser
experiments to shorter wavelengths, accessing wavevectors typical of nanoscale dynamics …

Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous
materials, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by …

Collective lattice dynamics determine essential aspects of condensed matter, such as elastic
and thermal properties. These exhibit strong dependence on the length-scale, reflecting the …
