Open AccessFinding defects in glasses through machine learning
Structural defects control the kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of glasses. For instance, rare quantum tunneling two-level systems (TLS) govern the physics of glasses at very low temperature. D...

Water untangled
Computer simulations have revealed the topological nature of the liquid–liquid phase transition in colloidal water. This finding might lead to an experimental observation of this topological transition with co...

Microscopic origin of excess wings in relaxation spectra of supercooled liquids
Glass formation is encountered in diverse materials. Experiments have revealed that the dynamic relaxation spectra of supercooled liquids generically become asymmetric near the glass transition temperature Tg, wh...

Open AccessNature of excitations and defects in structural glasses
The nature of defects in amorphous materials, analogous to vacancies and dislocations in crystals, remains elusive. Here, we explore their nature in a three-dimensional microscopic model glass-former that desc...
