Sub-diffusion in biological systems is conventionally treated as anomalous, requiring fractional derivatives, heavy-tailed waiting times, or fitted memory kernels. We argue that this anomaly is an artifact of an incomplete phase space.…

Chemical reactions involving diffusion of reactants and subsequent chemical fixation steps are generally termed "diffusion-influenced" (DI). Virtually all biochemical processes in living media can be counted among them, together with those…

The charge on an aggregate immersed in a plasma environment distributes itself over the aggregate's surface; this can be approximated theoretically by assuming a multipole distribution. The dipole-dipole (or higher order) charge…
