Description: To quote the words in 1984 of the late David Lazarus, “It is perhaps in the nature of the beast that the elementary diffusion process is so very fundamental and ubiquitous in the art and science of dealing with matter in its condensed phase that it never ceases to be useful but, at the same time, is a problem which is never really solved. It remains important by any measure.“ Indeed, there are few properties of condensed matter that do not depend directly or indirectly on diffusion, either of matter or of heat. And despite an immense amount of research extending well over a century on all aspects of diffusion there is apparently much more to be learnt about this mysterious beast. This volume is the opening volume of Diffusion Foundations, a new periodical that is in the form of a series of books of invited contributions covering recent advances in mass and heat diffusion in solids and liquids. The intention of Diffusion Foundations is to provide a place where extended papers on any aspect of diffusion can be published.
