\item For now consider the simple case of a single inert particle in a (fixed) concentration gradient. Say it moves towards the source of the chemical. It will follow some mean trajectory, but with plenty of scatter. This is an out-of-equilibrium process.  \begin{enumerate}  \item Understand why it moves (diffusiophoresis): how fast and in what direction on average? [See e.g. \citet{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010PhRvL.104m8302P} \citet{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010PhRvL.104m8302P}, \ldots]  \item What are the statistics of this motion -- how much variance is there?
