Fig. 1.
Liquid/vapor oscillations are seen in molecular dynamics simulations of a hydrophobic model nanopore built from methane-like pseudo atoms (transparent). Water molecules (red/white) placed at both sides of the pore diffuse through the channel. The water molecules appear somewhat smaller than they actually are, because they are drawn as stick models, whereas the atoms forming the channel are drawn as Van der Waals spheres. The figure was kindly provided by Oliver Beckstein.
