Granular flow dynamics and collapse mechanisms represent a rapidly evolving area of research that spans fundamental physics, geotechnical engineering and natural hazard assessment. At its core, the ...

When we take a stroll on the beach, we walk on the sand without any trouble. The sand appears solid and is difficult to compress. When we put the same sand grains in an hourglass, they behave very ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

Granular flow in hoppers and silos represents a complex interplay between particle properties, interparticle interactions, and confining geometries. Recent advances have highlighted the importance of ...
