An old explanation, yet unproven experimentally, is that the dynamics become sluggish in supercooled liquids, dense colloids, and granular assemblies because increasingly larger regions of the material have to move simultaneously to allow flow. We review recent physical arguments, theoretical models and experimental tools that suggest the existence of an underlying cooperative length that grows upon approaching the glass transition.
