One of the outstanding challenges of condensed matter physics remains the understanding the glass transition in dense or supercooled liquids. Numerous e orts have been made to identify the cause of the dramatic slowdown of the dynamics (specifically, the decrease of the discussion coefficient and the increase in relaxation times) in the vicinity of the kinetic glass transition. A popular hypothesis has been that a thermodynamic transition distinct from the usual liquid-solid transition underlies the kinetic glass transition. Adam and Gibbs first proposed a scenario that relates the slow discussion to a vanishing of the number of alternative configurations available to the liquid.
