Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

After three decades of developments, single particle tracking (SPT) has become a powerful
tool to interrogate dynamics in a range of materials including live cells and novel catalytic …

Deviations from Brownian motion leading to anomalous diffusion are found in transport
dynamics from quantum physics to life sciences. The characterization of anomalous diffusion …

Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to
econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous …

Modern microscopic techniques following the stochastic motion of labelled tracer particles
have uncovered significant deviations from the laws of Brownian motion in a variety of …

A ubiquitous observation in cell biology is that the diffusive motion of macromolecules and
organelles is anomalous, and a description simply based on the conventional diffusion …

In this review, we discuss the persistence and the related first-passage properties in
extended many-body nonequilibrium systems. Starting with simple systems with one or few …

For centuries, physical imaging tools have been opening new frontiers in biology. The
discovery of the cell nucleus by Scottish botanist Robert Brown was made possible by early …

A particle's motion in crowded environments often exhibits anomalous diffusion, whose
nature depends on the situation at hand and is formalized within different physical models …

Diffusion in the plasma membrane of living cells is often found to display anomalous
dynamics. However, the mechanism underlying this diffusion pattern remains highly …
