Glass forming liquids near the glass transition exhibit spatially heterogeneous dynamics, but it remains challenging to study their dynamics and structural origin on an atomic scale. Zhang et al. visualize liquid dynamics at a sub-nanometer and millisecond resolution using electron correlation microscopy.
