Notes:
An overview is given of recent advances in the experimental physics of supercooledliquids and glasses. These are described in the context of measurements of non-ergodicity,viscosity and low frequency dynamics. Particular attention is paid to recently reportedcorrelations between melt fragility and the vibrational and mechanical properties of the ensuingglass. Low frequency vibrations are discussed in relation to the Boson peak that characterisesthe glassy state. Throughout the over-arching role of density fluctuations in glass formation isstressed together with the experimental tools now available to characterise heterogeneity
