In 1905 Einstein formulated the laws of diffusion, and in 1908 Perrin published his Nobel-prize winning studies determining Avogadro's number from diffusion measurements. With similar, more refined techniques the diffusion behaviour in complex systems such as the motion of tracer particles in living biological cells is nowadays measured with high precision. Often the diffusion turns out to deviate from Einstein's laws. This talk will discuss the basic mechanisms leading to anomalous diffusion as well as point out the physical consequences. In particular the unconventional behaviour of non-ergodic, ageing systems will be addressed within the framework of different stochastic processes [1,2].

The effects of non-ergodicity and ageing will be analysed in more detail for specific physical systems such as the motion of particles in granular gases, tracer diffusion in flexible gels and in living biological cells, as well as in quenched energy landscapes. Moreover, many-particle effects with interactions will be addressed.

Seahorse analyzers are the Gold Standard in metabolic research. They allow the acquisition of real-time functional metabolic data in a quick and user-friendly manner for any cell type. In this presentation we shall reveal the basic principles behind Seahorse technology, and the wealth of information generated with the help of the Mito and Glyco stress tests. We shall showcase the flagship XFe96, as well as the latest addition to the Seahorse family, the XFp analyser. Finally, the basic principles behind the design of a successful metabolic assay will also be discussed.
