• Chemical potentialRelated: Chemical-potential gradients, rather than concentration gradients alone, determine diffusion in nonideal systems.

• Brownian motionRelated: Einstein derived Brownian particle diffusion from molecular impacts.

• ConcentrationRelated: A concentration gradient drives diffusion until the gradient diminishes.

• Materials scienceRelated: Atomic diffusion enables many transformations during processing and service.

• DissolutionRelated: Diffusion carries dissolved particles away from a dissolving surface, sustaining concentration gradients.

• PassivationRelated: A dense passive film limits the transport of ions and molecules needed for continued corrosion.

• AtomismRelated: Random microscopic motion produces this visible large-scale mixing.

• Random walkRelated: Random microscopic motion can generate macroscopic diffusion.

• AlloyRelated: Atomic diffusion enables alloy elements to redistribute during heating and processing.

• SinteringRelated: Atomic diffusion transports material across particle contacts and drives bonding during sintering.

• ChemotaxisRelated: Diffusion often creates or disperses the gradients that cells follow.

• HemodialysisRelated: It moves many dissolved wastes from blood into dialysate across the dialyzer membrane.

• MicrofluidicsRelated: It often replaces turbulence as the main way adjacent streams mix.

• DyeRelated: Dye molecules diffuse into a material before becoming trapped or bound within it.

• BriningRelated: Salt ions gradually spread from the brine into the food.

• Concentration gradientRelated: Random molecular motion produces net transport down a concentration gradient.

• Surface areaRelated: Greater membrane area can increase the rate of exchange by diffusion.

• CytoplasmRelated: It moves small molecules through cytosol, though crowding and cell size can limit its reach.

• MetasomatismRelated: Diffusion redistributes dissolved components through minerals and along grain boundaries.

• DryingRelated: Moisture often must diffuse from a material's interior before reaching its surface.

• Isotope fractionationRelated: Lighter isotopic molecules generally diffuse faster, creating kinetic separation.

• MacerationRelated: Dissolved compounds move from plant tissues into the surrounding liquid down concentration gradients.

• QuenchingRelated: Rapid cooling restricts diffusion, suppressing transformations that require long-range atomic movement.

• AbsorptionRelated: After entering a material, absorbed particles often spread through it by diffusion.

• Interstitial fluidRelated: Many nutrients, gases, and wastes cross tissue spaces by diffusion.

• MarinadeRelated: Marinade compounds move into food mainly by diffusion, which is limited by time and distance.

• Metamorphic reactionRelated: Diffusion moves atoms between reacting minerals and can limit reaction rates.

• Food-contact materialsRelated: It can carry small molecules through a material toward food.

• Paracrine signalingRelated: Diffusion helps establish the local concentration gradients that limit a paracrine signal’s range.

• AnnealingRelated: Atomic diffusion enables defect rearrangement and compositional homogenization during heating.

• Dead zoneRelated: Diffusion may be the main exchange mechanism when bulk flow is negligible.

• Renal replacement therapyRelated: Diffusion moves many dissolved waste products from blood into dialysis fluid.

• Surface-area-to-volume ratioRelated: Exchange across a boundary can become limiting when volume grows faster than available surface.

• AerenchymaRelated: Oxygen and other gases move through aerenchyma largely by diffusion.

• Capillary exchangeRelated: Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many small solutes cross capillary walls down concentration gradients.

• Coffee extractionRelated: Dissolved compounds move from coffee particles into surrounding water down concentration gradients.
