The term “granular flows” refers to a system of solid particles in which the flow behavior is dictated solely by particle-particle and particle-wall interactions (i.e., the role of the interstitial ...

Because this material isn’t fully crystalline like a solid or fully granular like a liquid, it can maintain the advantages of ...

Our research combines experiments, particle-level simulations, and models ranging from continuum transport to piecewise isometries, a recent branch of mathematics that can represent solids shuffling, ...

Granular Media: A collection of discrete solid particles, such as grains of sand or beads, that can exhibit complex flow and mechanical behavior. Discrete Element Method (DEM): A numerical method ...

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material ...

A researcher has discovered a new method to remove so-called 'forever chemicals' from our drinking water by heating the PFAS with granular activated carbon. The discovery represents a significant ...
