SUMMARY
Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) describes how high mobility of particles leads to compact aggregation through local equilibration. The professor explained that when particles collide, they lose energy, resulting in a slowdown that can cause a chain reaction, similar to a traffic jam. This phenomenon illustrates how energy dissipation during particle interactions contributes to aggregation patterns. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for comprehending the behavior of particles in various physical systems.
