The movie shows salt (brown and cyan atoms) dissolved in water, moving though a very small pore of 0.000002 millimeter diameter built on glass. The red and yellow colors depict the different atoms of the glass structure. These small pores have many potential applications, such as DNA sequencing. Due to their small size, the properties of the pores can only be studied using computer simulations.
