We first summarize the classical arguments that the vast majority of glass-forming liquids require more than one "order" parameter for their description. Critiques against this conventional wisdom are then presented, and it is argued that…
The ability of soft matter such as drops and bubbles to change shape dynamically during interaction can give rise to counter-intuitive behaviour that may be expected of rigid materials. Here we show that dimple formation on approach and the…
