In all the panels of this figure, points reflect experimental data, solid colored lines are exponential fitting functions justified by our coarse-grained models, black dashed lines denote linear or constant scaling, black dashed-dotted lines evidence ballistic behavior, and solid black lines are guides for the eyes. In (b), (d), (e), (g), (i), (j), (mp), error bars represent standard deviation.
