A Bernal lattice: (a) J. D. Bernal in the 1960s working on his model for liquid water based on tetrahedral “packing”. Since tetrahedra cannot tile space, this is a pseudo-lattice incorporating many discontinuities (hence the liquid nature of water). (b) A more recent computer-generated version (made with a program written by the author).
