Physics in Action: Granular Materials

Website Detail Page

written by the Physics Central
published by the American Physical Society

This article describes research on systems made up of small granular pieces, such as sand piles or containers of grain. In these "Collective" systems, the interactions of each of the grains with a few neighbors determines the properties of large systems.
