The apparent simplicity of amorphous sphere packings can be misleading. Although random close packing is a common phenomenon that has been studied for decades recent theo[...]

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 [...]

We show that, in the equilibrium phase of glass-forming hard-sphere fluids in three dimensions, the static length scales tentatively associated with the dynamical slowdow[...]

We generalize to higher spatial dimensions the Stokes–Einstein relation (SER) as well as the leading correction to diffusivity in finite systems with periodic boundary con[...]

The formulation of the mean-field infinite-dimensional solution of hard sphere glasses is a significant milestone for theoretical physics. How relevant this description m[...]

The mean-field theory (MFT) of simple structural glasses which is exact in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions d→∞ offers theoretical insight as well as quantitative[...]

Elizabeth Monroe married Boggs (1913-1996) trained as a mathematician at Bryn Mawr as a mathematical chemist at Cambridge and as a theoretical chemist at Cornell before j[...]

Mean-field models of glasses that present a random first order transition exhibit highly nontrivial fluctuations. Building on previous studies that focused on the critica[...]

Finite-dimensional signatures of spinodal criticality are notoriously difficult to come by. The dynamical transition of glass-forming liquids first described by mode-coup[...]

Although the origins of the popular candy called fudge have been traced to American industrial processed foods of the 1880s an early version known as panochita de leche w[...]
