This simulates heat diffusion in a 2D metallic plate. Heat is generated from each side of the plate and IS diffused to the centre. This is governed by variables including time and position of each square on the plate, as well as the thermal diffusivity. Learn more:

This simulates the formation of lipid bilayer membrane in water. Over time, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic ends are respectively oriented towards and away from the water molecules due to intermolecular forces. The cells in our body use this to serve as a cell membrane. This simulation was done in NetLogo. Learn more:

Solid diffusion is governed by the movement of vacancies through the materials involved. This NetLogo simulation involves two material lattices, green and blue. Once heat is applied to the system, these vacancies (black squares) begin to move, resulting in each solid diffusing into each other. Learn more:
