AbstractWith support from the Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Oliver Steinbock at Florida State University is investigating the mechanisms by which the motion of nano- and micro-particles driven by concentration gradients of solutes (known as diffusiophoresis) is influenced and controlled by self-organizing reaction-diffusion patterns far from equilibrium. In many biological systems, steep gradients and active transport processes reinforce one anothe
