Particles in a liquid and a gas move continuously. Because of this movement, particles will spread themselves evenly throughout a liquid or a gas. If a crystal of a coloured chemical, eg potassium ...

Red blood cells (RBCs) are a type of blood cell whose role is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues of the body. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the RBCs, ...

Quantum dots diffuse within living cells in a nearly two-dimensional fashion. This result, which was obtained using a new 3D microscopy technique that can track single particles, sheds fresh light on ...

Small-scale analysis of RNA diffusion rates throughout cells of yeast and bacteria reveals that rates of change of entropy in certain time intervals are larger in areas with higher diffusion rates, ...

A surge of single-cell fluorescence studies has shown that genetically identical cells residing within the same environment can display extensive cell-to-cell variability in the expression levels of ...

Sticky spots on cell membranes hold onto the master regulator of cell polarity, helping to ensure that the regulatory protein accumulates in high enough concentrations to trigger cell polarity. Over ...

Researchers studying the movement, interactions and microenvironments of intracellular molecules often need to analyze information on the patterns and rates with which molecules diffuse within the ...

Determination of the effective thermal conductivity of gas diffusion layers in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells: a comprehensive fractal approach. International Journal of Energy Research, 35 ...
