Confounded by Coffee
published by the Science@NASA
This article from NASA delves into the strange behavior of bagged blocks of coffee. A vacuum-sealed package of coffee will change from a hard brick to a soft pile of ground beans when exposed to air. The article explains why NASA scientists want to study granular materials and some of the problems faced by researchers.
