The 190th birthday of Adolf Fick

Adolf Fick’s work represents in many ways an important starting point for modern scientific research
on diffusion. Diffusion itself is a slow process taking long time to progress. In this talk, we aim to discuss
the progress of diffusion science. For this purpose, we present a highly subjective review of the study
of diffusion since the times of Adolf Fick. Our focus is on mutual diffusion in liquids which is at the
heart of many processes in (bio)chemical systems. Here, diffusion is often the rate-limiting step and thus
decisive for overall process performance.
