Active carpets drive non-equilibrium diffusion and enhanced molecular fluxes

Biological activity is often highly concentrated on surfaces, across the scales from molecular motors and ciliary arrays to sessile and motile organisms. These ‘active carpets’ locally inject energy into their surrounding fluid. Whereas Fick’s laws of diffusion are established near equilibrium, it i...
