  • Metallic glasses are much stronger than conventional metals, but form certain instabilities under stress that lead to fracture. A process known as rejuvenation has been shown to solve this problem.

  • Mechanical properties of materials are governed by dislocations, yet it remains a challenge to resolve their evolution on the atomic scale. Svetlizky et al. use colloidal crystals to investigate, in three dimensions, how dislocations enable plastic relaxation and the formation of networks.

  • Biomolecular condensates can contain multiple phases. The number of droplets of each phase and their location give the condensate a certain architecture. Here the authors present a method to create a range of transient architectures in biomolecular condensates, making the architecture or interfacial area controllable design variables in experiments.

  • An analogue of nano-indentation performed on a colloidal crystal provides direct images of defect formation in real time and on the single-particle level — allowing investigation of the effects of thermal fluctuations.

  • A complete description of the structure of simple liquids is missing from our understanding of matter. But new observations show that liquids contain many configurations with five-fold symmetry.
