A quantitative relationship between the diffusion coefficient $D$ of a tagged particle in a liquid and the entropy $S$ of that liquid has long been sought, as it would allow entropy to be inferred directly from diffusion measurements and…
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…

In this paper, we numerically study Turing patterns by the Finsler geometry (FG) modeling technique on thermally fluctuating triangular lattices, which are often used for modeling cell membranes or lipid membranes, focusing on the origin of…
Under low-Reynolds-number conditions, dynamics of convection and diffusion are usually considered separately because their dominant spatial and temporal scales are different, but cooperative effects of convection and diffusion can cause…
We report a new phenomenon, called self-recovery, in the process of diffusion in a region with boundary. Suppose that a diffusing quantity is uniformly distributed initially and then gets excited by the change in the boundary values over a…
Large-scale electrical and thermal currents in ordinary metals are well approximated by effective medium theory: global transport properties are governed by the solution to homogenized coupled diffusion equations. In some metals, including…
Heat and energy are conceptually different, but often are assumed to be the same without justification. An effective method for investigating diffusion properties in equilibrium systems is discussed. With this method, we demonstrate that…
It is shown how Adler's trace dynamics can be applied to stochastic mechanics and other complex classical dynamical systems. Emergent non-commutivity due to the fractal nature of sample trajectories is closely related to the fact that the…
