How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Confocal microscopy of colloids (2007, background): “) The glass is characterized by a large increase in the viscosity of the system [24] despite no perceptible change in structure [8].”
A colloidal model system with an interaction tunable from hard sphere to soft and dipolar (2003, background): “jpg" NDATA ITEM> ]> Monodisperse colloidal suspensions of micrometre-sized spheres are playing an increasingly important role as model systems to study, in real space, a variety of phenomena in condensed matter physics—such as glass transitions and crystal nucleatio”
The role of local structure in dynamical arrest (2014, background): “Indeed with confocal microscopy, the structure of colloidal (supercooled) liquids can be accessed at the single-particle level, yielding data at the level otherwise available only to simulation [115, 414, 535].”
Direct observation of a local structural mechanism for dynamic arrest. (2008, background): “, may be treated as mesoscopic atoms, provide one promising means to identify LFSs experimentally, as it is possible to determine the coordinates of every particle with microscop”
