The year 2005 gave us, through two anniversaries (1855 Fick and 1905 Einstein), the wish to go back to these authors’ seminal papers, whose aftermath had been (and still is) prodigious. This essay describes the contents of these articles: the macroscopic approach with Fick equations and the microsco...
