Diffusion-coagulation can be simply described by a dynamic where particles perform a random walk on a lattice and coalesce with probability unity when meeting on the same site. Such processes display non-equilibrium properties with strong…

Diffusion at solid-liquid interfaces is crucial in many technological and biophysical processes. Although its behavior seems deceivingly simple, recent studies showing passive superdiffusive transport suggest diffusion on surfaces may hide…
The simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium has the constitutive relations (${\bf D} =\epso {\bf E} -{\bf \Gamma}\times {\bf H}$ and ${\bf B} =\muo {\bf H} + {\bf \Gamma}\times{\bf E}$). Scattering by a three-dimensional object composed of…
Over the past 15 years, several groups have engineered media that are both strongly dispersive and roughly transparent for some finite bandwidth. Relationships and intuitive models that are satisfactory when it is reasonable to neglect…
The relation between relaxation and diffusion is investigated in a Hamiltonian system of globally coupled rotators. Diffusion is anomalous if and only if the system is going towards equilibrium. The anomaly in diffusion is not anomalous…
Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long timescales is enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size- and composition-dependent manner. Using a system of particles with different…
We evaluate the self-diffusion and transport diffusion of interacting particles in a discrete geometry consisting of a linear chain of cavities, with interactions within a cavity described by a free-energy function. Exact analytical…
