dc.descriptionNon-reversing relaxation enthalpies (DHnr) at glass transitions Tg(x) in the PxGexSe1-2x ternary display a wide, sharp and deep global minimum (~0) in the 0.09 < x < 0.145 range, within which Tg becomes thermally reversing. In the reversibility window these glasses are found not to age, in contrast to aging observed for fragile glass compositions outside the window. Thermal reversibility and lack of aging are paradigms that molecular glasses in the window share with proteins in transition states, which result from structural self-organization in both systems. In proteins the self-organized structures appear to be at places where life sustaining repeating foldings and unfoldings occur.
