Editing Molecular diffusion (section)

== Applications ==
Diffusion is of fundamental importance in many disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology. Some example applications of diffusion:
* [[Sintering]] to produce solid materials ([[powder metallurgy]], production of [[ceramic]]s)
* [[Chemical reactor]] design
* [[Catalysis|Catalyst]] design in chemical industry
* [[Steel]] can be diffused (e.g., with carbon or nitrogen) to modify its properties
* [[Doping (semiconductor)|Doping]] during production of [[semiconductor]]s.
