Abstract

“We adore chaos because we love to produce order”: Inspired by the work of M. C. Escher, the image embodies the metamorphosis of a water–ethanol solution that is discussed by G. Tabacchi and co-workers in their Communication on page 2105 ff. Chaotically distributed molecules are turned into a beautifully ordered two-dimensional pattern of dimers and tetramers. Order is produced at high pressure and through confinement in nanometric spaces (Illustration: Andrea Stangoni).
