Atomic Trajectories

Caption

An image of atomic trajectories in a two-dimensional liquid, generated by computer simulations. Most trajectories are elongated, and the elongation of close trajectories is similar. This is the visual signature of the collective motions found by Li et al., which demonstrates a fundamental difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional liquids.
