Abstract The dynamics of glasses shows some distinct differences with respect to the crystalline state. Both in the short time regime (boson peak) and the microscopically slow regime (alpha- and beta-relaxation) there are glass-typical features. The outstanding sharpness of nuclear transitions offers a new tool to investigate the properties of glasses at long times, i.e., some nanoseconds to microseconds. The article will give a short introduction to glass-dynamic and convenient parameters for the theoretical description and will summarize recent results on model systems.
