Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: platinum atoms at the edges are much less mobile and create an atomic corral around the more mobile atoms located in the centre.
