▪ Abstract The recent avalanche of research activity in the field of granular matter has yielded
much progress. The use of state-of-the-art (and other) computational and experimental …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Abstract Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and
scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System …

Lithium-ion batteries are stabilized by an ultrathin protective film that is 10–50 nanometres
thick and coats both electrodes. Here we artifically simulate the'thermal-runaway'conditions …

Several animal species, including sheep, mice, cattle, goats, rabbits, cats, pigs and, more
recently, mules have been reproduced by somatic cell cloning, with the offspring being a …

We review recent developments in size separation in vibrated granular materials. Motivated
by a need in industry to handle granular materials efficiently and a desire to make …

A recent granular rheology based on an implicit “granular fluidity” field has been shown to
quantitatively predict many nonlocal phenomena. However, the physical nature of the field …

We have measured the spectrum of velocity fluctuations in a granular system confined to a
vertical plane and driven into a homogeneous, steady state by strong vertical vibration. The …

We report experiments on the equipartition of kinetic energy in a mixture of pairs of different
types of grains vibrated in two dimensions. In general, the two types of grains do not attain …

A granular mixture of particles of two sizes that is shaken vertically will in most cases
segregate. If the larger particles accumulate at the top of the sample, this is called the Brazil …
