diffusive dynamics

Diffusive dynamics refers to how particles, such as molecules, spread out over time due to random motion. Imagine dropping a drop of food coloring in water; initially, it’s concentrated in one spot, but over time it spreads throughout the water. This process occurs due to collisions between particles, leading to an even distribution. In various fields like biology, physics, and materials science, understanding diffusive dynamics helps explain how substances mix, how nutrients move in cells, and even how gases diffuse in the atmosphere. It highlights the natural tendency of systems to reach equilibrium.
