Map of the spatial relaxation in a two-dimensional liquid model.

Map of the spatial relaxation in a two-dimensional liquid model. Brighter regions indicate locations where particles moved significantly during some time interval, in dark regions little motion occurred. This image reveals the fractal nature of the relaxation process, shaped both by thermal fluctuations and elastic interactions.
