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 ...

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

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 ...

Porous organic crystals with superior properties as CO2 adsorbents were created by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo.

At first glance, artificial intelligence, the process of human aging, and the phenomenon of Donald Trump may seem unrelated.

Shear. Shear occurs in a flowing granular solid as a result of a velocity gradient, and can develop as either a discontinuous shear (for instance, a shear or slip plane) or as a continuous gradient of ...
