We present experimental confirmation of dynamic facilitation in monodisperse and bidisperse colloidal suspensions near the glass transition volume fraction. Correlations in particle dynamics are seen to exist not only in space (clusters and strings) but also as bubbles in space-time. Quantitatively, highly mobile particles are more likely (than immobile particles) to have nearest neighbors that...

Sliding friction across a thin soft lubricant film typically occurs by stick-slip, the lubricant fully solidifying at stick, yielding and flowing at slip. The static friction force per unit area preceding slip is known from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to decrease with increasing contact area. That makes the large-size fate of stick-slip unclear and unknown; its possible vanishing is imp...
