Abstract.
Dynamic transitions from a fluid to a solid-like state occur in a wide variety of physical systems. In this article, we discuss the notion that universal physics might lie behind transitions which, at first, appear rather different. We highlight some features which appear to be common to various transitions, as well as looking at those aspects which differ.
