Volume 89, Issue 27

Contour plot of x-ray scattering intensity for water in a hydrated protein crystal from a molecular-dynamics simulation. The figure shows two Brillouin sound modes (dotted lines) in the interfacial water, corresponding to ordinary and fast sound in liquid water. [M. Tarek and D. J. Tobias, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 275501 (2002)]
