The process of diffusion has been studied for centuries. But reserachers have recently begun to study a competing process – anti-diffusion. Find out more in this collection of content from a recent research programme at the INI.
Researchers from different fields recently came together to improve our understanding of anti-diffusion, the process behind the distinct bands of Jupiter, that also plays a role in our oceans and in developing plasma fusion reactors.
