Glass transition is characterised by drastic dynamical slowing down upon cooling, accompanied by growing spatial heterogeneity. Its rationalisation by subtle changes in the liquid structure has been long debated but remains elusive, due to intrinsic difficulty in detecting the underlying complex structural ordering. Here we report that structural order parameter characterising local packing capability can well describe the glassy dynamics not only macroscopically but also microscopically, no mat ...[more]
