The movement of gas through a tiny hole is called Effusion. Effusion occurs when there is a barrier with one or many small holes that prevent the gas to expand into the new volume unless a gas molecule happens to travel through the hole. The difference between Effusion and Diffusion is the barrier between the two volumes.
