Non-Equilibrium Diffusion in Complex Environments

Diffusion is at the root of a huge number of microscopic structural and transport processes. During the last century, Einstein and Boltzmann's theories were successful in describing equilibrated systems, but they are not applicable to numerous strongly non-equilibrium conditions in nano-technological and macromolecular-scale biological contexts. Notably, many systems involve energy injection at an interface, either under dissipative shear flows or chemical reactivity. These common non-equilibrium situations are difficult to observe with precision and describe with statistical theory. NoDiCE’s purpose is thus to design model experiments placing functional colloidal particles in complex,…
