Abstract Recent evidence indicates that in supercooled liquids the cooperativity of molecular motion extends over certain temporal and spatial ranges. A key advance is the experimental and theoretical exploration of higher-order correlation functions that can track the molecular coordinates for more than just two points in time or space. Uncontested experimental determinations of the heterogeneity length scale at the glass transition remain a major goal.
