We discuss two main universal dynamic crossovers in a liquid that correspond to relaxation times of 1 ps and 10^{-7}--10^{-6} s. We introduce the concept of liquid elasticity length $d_{\rm el}$. At room temperature, $d_{\rm el}$ is several…
We propose a dynamic structure of coupled dynamic molecular strings for supercooled small polar molecule liquids and accordingly we obtain the Hamiltonian of the rotational degrees of freedom of the system. From the Hamiltonian, the…
We review the recently proposed elastic approach to glass transition. This approach is based on a simple and a physically transparent idea of elastic interactions between local relaxation events in a liquid. Central to this picture is the…
Dynamical properties of lattice systems with long-range pair interactions, decaying like 1/r^{\alpha} with the distance r, are investigated, in particular the time scales governing the relaxation to equilibrium. Upon varying the interaction…
As liquids approach the glass transition temperature, dynamical heterogeneity emerges as a crucial universal feature of their behavior. Dynamic facilitation, where local motion triggers further motion nearby, plays a major role in this…
We propose that the properties of glass transition can be understood on the basis of elastic waves. Elastic waves originating from atomic jumps in a liquid propagate local expansion due to the anharmonicity of interatomic potential. This…
When analyzing the broadband absorption spectrum of liquid water (10^10 - 10^13 Hz), we find its relaxation-resonance features to be an indication of Frenkel's translation-oscillation motion of particles, which is fundamentally inherent to…
Based upon mesoscale simulations of binary mixtures with very low surface tension and positive disjoining pressure (frustration), we measure the correlation length of the stress field within the flowing mixture, as a function of the…
A universal dynamical crossover temperature, Tcr, in glassy liquids, associated with the {\alpha}-\b{eta} bifurcation temperature, TB, has been observed in dielectric spectroscopy and other experiments. Tcr lies significantly above the…
Since its introduction, liquid viscosity and relaxation time $\tau$ have been considered to be an intrinsic property of the system that is essentially local in nature and therefore independent of system size. We perform dielectric…
We report here a molecular dynamics simulation study on water and aqueous LiCl solutions confined in 1.6 nm cylindrical pores of silica to investigate a dynamical cross-over, observed earlier experimentally, wherein LiCl slows down confined…
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study a spherically-symmetric ``two-scale'' Jagla potential with both repulsive and attractive ramps. This potential displays a liquid-liquid phase transition with a positively sloped coexistence…
We report the realization of an advanced technique for measuring relative length changes $\Delta L/L$ of mm-sized samples under control of temperature ($T$) and helium-gas pressure ($P$). The system, which is an extension of the apparatus…
The existence of a static lengthscale that grows in accordance with the dramatic slowing down observed at the glass transition is a subject of intense interest. A recent publication compared two proposals for this length scale, one based on…
We present a direct comparison of the number of dynamically correlated molecules in the shear-mechanical and dielectric relaxations of the following seven supercooled organic liquids: triphenylethylene, tetramethyl-tetraphenyl-trisiloxane,…
Using a general model for the equilibrium dynamics of supercooled liquids, I compute from molecular properties the emergent length and time scales that govern the nonequilibrium relaxation behavior of amorphous ice prepared by rapid…
The dynamic response of an interacting electron system is determined by an extension of the relaxation-time approximation forced to obey local conservation laws for number, momentum and energy. A consequence of these imposed constraints is…
The mean-square displacement (MSD) was measured by neutron scattering at various temperatures and pressures for a number of molecular glass-forming liquids. The MSD is invariant along the glass-transition line at the pressure studied, thus…
The properties of water can have a strong dependence on the confinement. Here, we consider a water monolayer nanoconfined between hydrophobic parallel walls under conditions that prevent its crystallization. We investigate, by simulations…
The evolution of viscoelastic properties near the sol-gel transition is studied by performing oscillatory rheological measurements on two different types of systems: a colloidal dispersion and a thermo-responsive polymer solution under…
