In materials science, high performance is typically associated with regularity and order,
while disorder and the presence of defects are assumed to lead to sub-optimal outcomes …

Clustering is critical to understanding the multiscale behavior of fluidization. However, its
time‐resolved evolution at the particle level is seldom touched. Here, we explore both the …

Granular gases as dilute ensembles of particles in random motion are at the basis of
elementary structure-forming processes in the Universe, involved in many industrial and …

We report experiments investigating jamming fronts in a floating layer of cornstarch
suspension. The suspension has a packing fraction close to jamming, which dynamically …

When a liquid drop impacts on a heated substrate, it can remain deposited, or violently boil
in contact, or lift off with or without ever touching the surface. The latter is known as the …

We investigate the dynamics of ice mélange by analyzing rapid motion recorded by a time‐
lapse camera and terrestrial radar during several calving events that occurred at …

Granular and particle-fluid flows are widely observed in nature and in industry. Their
behaviors are determined by the injection of energy and the subsequent cascade of energy …

In this study, a numerical approach is employed to investigate the flow and energy
transitions characteristics of particles in a horizontal drum equipped with rotational flat blade …

The impact-induced energy transfer and dissipation in granular targets without any confining
walls are studied by microgravity experiments. A solid projectile impacts into a granular …

Experiments with granular gases do not only provide statistical information on multi-particle
systems undergoing random dissipative interactions, they may also help to test predictions …
