The answer is yes. The classic experiment is the diffusion of solid gold into solid lead. The first reference below, from Nature in 1925, discusses this phenomenon and suggests that the rate of diffusion is about 100,000 times slower than the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride in water. I have given some other more modern references.

How fast dissolved the solid in a liquid?
they take a longer time to diffuse than gases because the particles are packed more tightly together. If your doing science, I would just say they take longer than gases and act slower
What is the difference between miscible and soluble?
soluable means that the solid can diffuse in the water and miscible is the opposite.
Why doesn't the particles of a solid diffuse?
Usually it's because the particles are too tightly compacted and have no room to move around as liuqids or gases do.
Which way would O2 and CO2 diffuse during internal respiration?
O2 would diffuse into the cells, and CO2 would diffuse into the systemic capillaries.
What things diffuse into?
The molecules of food and oxygen diffuse into cells. oh and btfw co2 and waste chemicals diffuse ut of cells. im in year 3
Can solid diffuse into solids?
no
How solid diffuse?
sublimation
What two properties does a solid compound will not have?
1-solids do not flow.2- they do not diffuse.
Why liquids diffuse much faster than solid?
The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.

Can a liquid diffuse into a solid?
Opals are an example of water diffusing into rock under enormous pressure and millions of years.
What type of particles can diffuse?
Gas and liquid particles can diffuse because they are free to move around unlike solid particles that can only vibrate on the spot but cannot move from place to place.(Hope I have answered your question :P )
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix true or false?
False
Why doesn't the particles of a solid diffuse?
Usually it's because the particles are too tightly compacted and have no room to move around as liuqids or gases do.
Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?
Yes Diffusion is mainly gases property Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference. Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc. depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont) examples food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.
