Macroscopic concentration gradients in physical systems relax towards equilibrium by diffusion, in the absence of bulk motion. This is normally regarded as a spatially homogeneous mixing process. Here, however, we show that unexpectedly large spatial fluctuations in concentration can occur during a free diffusion process. We set up an initially sharp interface between two miscible fluids by letting a mixture
