TL;DR: This work finds that the size distribution of regions of cooperatively moving particles is given by a power law and that their formation is encoded in the initial structure of the particles, with the memory of initial configuration increasingly retained with increasing density.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of dynamically heterogeneous regions in a weakly polydisperse hard sphere system in deeply supercooled state was investigated, and it was shown that the shape changes only weakly and moreover hints that the often-used four-point correlation length may exhibit a growth in excess of that which their method identifies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Lennard-Jones system after a quench from a high temperature to one below the glass transition temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a liquid of symmetric dumbbells, for constant packing fraction, as a function of temperature and molecular elongation, are presented, and it is shown that the odd rotational degrees of freedom remain ergodic at all investigated temperature and the temperature dependence of the corresponding characteristic time is well described by an Arrhenius law.

TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations of the fully connected p-state Potts model for different system sizes were performed to see how the static and dynamic properties of a finite model compare with the, exactly known, behaviour of the system in the thermodynamic limit.
