Osmosis is a universal phenomenon occurring in a broad variety of processes and fields. It is the archetype of entropic forces, both trivial in its fundamental expression–the van't Hoff …
Turing patterns are fundamental in biophysics, emerging from short-range activation and long-range inhibition processes. However, their paradigm is based on diffusive transport …
In this review, we cover recent advances in microfluidic colloid separation enabled by diffusiophoresis. Diffusiophoresis describes the motion of colloidal particles induced by local …
The healthy growth and maintenance of a biological system depends on the precise spatial organization of molecules within the cell through the dissipation of energy. Reaction …

Chemical gradients, the spatial variations in chemical concentrations and components, are omnipresent in environments ranging from biological and environmental systems to …
Recent experimental studies have utilized AC electric fields and electrochemical reactions in multicomponent electrolyte solutions to control colloidal assembly. However, theoretical …

Electrolytic diffusiophoresis is the movement of colloidal particles in response to a concentration gradient of an electrolyte. The diffusiophoretic velocity vDP is typically …
Diffusiophoresis refers to the phenomenon where colloidal particles move in response to solute concentration gradients. Existing studies on diffusiophoresis, both experimental and …
Microtubules are dynamic filaments that assemble spindles for eukaryotic cell division. As the concentration profiles of soluble tubulin and regulatory proteins are non-uniform during …
