Experiments in micro-patterned model membranes support the narrow escape theory

Abstract The narrow escape theory (NET) predicts the escape time distribution of Brownian particles confined to a domain with reflecting borders except for one small window. Applications include molecular activation events in cell biology and biophysics. Specifically, the mean first passage time $$\...
