TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of eleven glass-forming models is presented to demonstrate that both structural ordering and the dramatic increase of relaxation times at low temperatures can be efficiently tackled using carefully designed models of size polydisperse supercooled liquids together with an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm where translational particle displacements are complemented by swaps of particle pairs.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that equilibrium fluid and nonequilibrium jammed states can have the same density, and it is shown that the jamming transition cannot be the end point of the fluid branch.

TL;DR: The colossal gap between experiments and simulations is closed but in silico configurations that have no experimental analog yet are created, and measurements consistently confirm that the steep entropy decrease observed in experiments is also found in simulations, even beyond the experimental glass transition.

TL;DR: This work reports on D(ω) of zero-temperature glasses with kinetic stabilities ranging from poorly annealed to ultrastable glasses, and establishes a direct connection between glasses’ stability and their soft vibrational modes.
