Thermodynamic stability of hard sphere crystals in dimensions 3 through 10
Although much is known about the metastable liquid branch of hard spheres—from low dimension d up to \({d\rightarrow \infty }\) ...

Postponing the dynamical transition density using competing interactions
Systems of dense spheres interacting through very short-ranged attraction are known from theory, simulations and colloidal experiments to exhibit dynamical reentrance. Their liquid state can thus be fluidized at ...

Open AccessZero-temperature glass transition in two dimensions
Liquids cooled towards the glass transition temperature transform into amorphous solids that have a wide range of applications. While the nature of this transformation is understood rigorously in the mean-fiel...

Obtaining Soft Matter Models of Proteins and their Phase Behavior
Globular proteins are roughly spherical biomolecules with attractive and highly directional interactions. This microscopic observation motivates describing these proteins as patchy particles: hard spheres with...

Fractal free energy landscapes in structural glasses
Glasses are amorphous solids whose constituent particles are caged by their neighbours and thus cannot flow. This sluggishness is often ascribed to the free energy landscape containing multiple minima (basins)...

Intergenerational Support to Older Canadians by Their Adult Children: Implications for the Future
The evolution of family networks of older men and women in Canada is projected for the coming decades. By disaggregating help coming from informal sources, in certain family networks, the contribution of adult...
