Resumen:
By means of molecular-dynamics simulations we firmly establish the long-awaited
existence of strong correlations between structure and dynamics for a glass-forming system:
supercooled water. We find molecules with similar structural (and dynamical) properties to be
clustered in space, thus reveling the existence of structured regions with low dynamic propensity
and unstructured ones with a high-mobility tendency.
