Diffusion
Diffusion is a fundamental concept in various fields, encompassing physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. It describes the spontaneous movement of particles, molecules, or information from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration, driven by the natural tendency to achieve equilibrium. This process plays a crucial role in diverse phenomena, such as the spread of odors in the air, the movement of ions across cell membranes, the distribution of pollutants in the environment, and the adoption of innovations in society. Understanding diffusion mechanisms is essential for grasping numerous natural and artificial processes, offering insights into complex systems and their dynamics.
