Abstract
When suspended in a liquid, hard spherical colloidal particles can show fluid, crytalline and glassy phases. A light scattering study of the dynamics of the metastable fluid and glassy phases is reported. Comparison is made with the predictions of mode‐coupling theories applied to the glass transition of simple atomic systems.Keywords
