Phoresis
- Not to be confused with the suffix -pheresis, as in plasmapheresis.
The suffix -phoresis means "migration":
- diffusiophoresis, motion observed in liquid environments where chemical gradients are generated by contact between solutions with different solute concentrations
- electrophoresis, motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field
- isotachophoresis, technique in analytical chemistry used to separate charged particles
- necrophoresis, disposal of bodies of dead members of their colony in social insects
- phoresis (biology), interspecies biological interaction in ecology
- thermophoresis, phenomenon observed when a mixture of two or more types of motile particles (particles able to move) is subjected to the force of a temperature gradient and the different types of particles respond to it differently
