Did you eat cereal this morning? Or have you walked on a gravel path? Maybe you had a headache and had to take a pill? If you answered any of these questions with a yes, you interacted with a granular ...
For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that the kinetic energy from particles in granular gases such as dust clouds can rise temporarily even though energy is constantly being drawn out of ...
Sand is a fascinating material. It can flow and be poured like a liquid, but retains many of the properties of solids, clogging pipes or forming sand dunes. The behavior of collections of small ...
A new study shows how two types of sand can behave like light and heavy liquids, shedding light on geological processes from mudslides to volcanoes and potentially enabling new technologies from ...
Granular materials, comprising assemblies of macroscopic particles such as sand grains, pharmaceutical powders or agricultural seeds, display a spectrum of mechanical behaviours that bridge fluids and ...
