Observation of a glass transition in suspensions of spherical colloidal particles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the dynamic structure factor of colloidal spheres and observed their phase behavior, and found that the structure factor developed an essentially nondecaying component, implying structural arrest at almost the same concentration as that at which a longlived amorphous or glass phase was first observed.
