Anomalous diffusion constitutes a relation between tracer flux and tracer density gradient that is inherently nonlocal in space and/or time. Previous studies emphasize the non-Gaussian character of the tracer distribution that arises from…
During polymer translocation driven by e.g. voltage drop across a nanopore, the segments in the cis-side is incessantly pulled into the pore, which are then pushed out of it into the trans-side. This pulling and pushing polymer segments are…

In vivo measurements of the passive movements of biomolecules or vesicles in cells consistently report ''anomalous diffusion'', where mean-squared displacements scale as a power law of time with exponent $\alpha< 1$ (subdiffusion). While…
