We analyse the connections between structure and dynamics in two model glass-formers, using the mutual information between an initial configuration and the ensuing dynamics to compare the predictive value of different structural…
This paper summarizes the properties of strongly correlating liquids, i.e., liquids with strong correlations between virial and potential energy equilibrium fluctuations at constant volume. We proceed to focus on the experimental…

In this work, we consider fluid-structure interaction simulation with nonlinear hyperelastic models in the solid part. We use a partitioned approach to deal with the coupled nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems. We focus on…
I briefly review a recent series of papers putting forward a coarse-grained theoretical approach to the physics of supercooled liquids approaching their glass transition. After a suitable coarse-graining, the dynamics of the liquid is…
The non-exponential character of the structural relaxation is considered one of the hallmarks of the glassy dynamics and in this context, the singular shape observed by dielectric techniques has attracted the attention of the community for…
An open question is whether the liquid and glassy phases of water are thermodynamically distinct or continuous. Here we address this question using molecular dynamics simulations in comparison with neutron scattering experiments to study…
This key-issues review is a plea for a new focus on simpler and more realistic models of glass-forming fluids. It seems to me that we have too often been led astray by sophisticated mathematical models that beautifully capture some of the…

Glasses are solid materials whose constituent atoms are arranged in a disordered manner. The transition from a liquid to a glass remains one of the most poorly understood phenomena in condensed matter physics, and still no fully microscopic…
We view a complex liquid as a network of bonds connecting each particle to its nearest neighbors; the dynamics of this network is a chain of discrete events signaling particles rearrangements. Within this picture, we studied a…
We study a recently introduced model of one-component glass-forming liquids whose constituents interact with anisotropic potential. This system is interesting per-se and as a model of liquids like glycerol (interacting via hydrogen bonds)…
We use a simple fragmentation model to describe the statistical behavior of the Voronoi cell patterns generated by a set of points in 1D and in 2D. In particular, we are interested in the distribution of sizes of these Voronoi cells. Our…
All liquids are topologically disordered materials; however, the degree of disorder can vary as a result of internal fluctuations in structure and topology. These fluctuations depend on both the composition and temperature of the system.…
We study the role of elasticity-induced facilitation on the dynamics of glass-forming liquids by a coarse-grained two-dimensional model in which local relaxation events, taking place by thermal activation, can trigger new relaxations by…
The synergetic approach proposed here is based on characteristic instability of chemical bonding in the form of the bond wave considered as the spatiotemporal correlation between the elementary acts of bond exchange. In frames of the model,…
