| description | We highlight certain key achievements in experimental work on molecular, colloidal and granular glassformers. This short review considers these three classes of experimental systems and focusses largely on the work of the authors and their coworkers and thus is far from exhaustive. Our goal is rather to discuss particular experimental results from these classes and to explore universality and specificity across the broad range of length– and time–scales they span. We emphasize that a variety of phenomena, not least dynamical heterogeneity, growing lengthscales and a change in structure, albeit subtle, are now well established in these three classes of glassformer. We then review some experimental measurements which depend more specifically on the class of glassformer, such as the Gardner transition and some which have been investigated more in one or two classes than in all, such as configurational entropy and evidence for a dynamical phase transition. We finally put forward some open questions and consider what could be done to fill some of the gaps between theoretical approaches and experiments. |
