Popis: The self-diffusion coefficient of water molecules has been measured by nuclear magnetic resonance in cysts of Artemia over a wide range of hydration. Compared to the value for bulk water, the diffusion coefficient is reduced by a factor of 7 at the highest hydration and by approximately 100 at the lowest hydration. The results are used to evaluate various models that have been proposed to account for the reduction of water self-diffusion coefficients in complex systems.
