Effects of reduced gravity on the granular fluid-solid transition: underexplored forces can dominate soft matter behaviors

Paul Sánchez, Karen E. Daniels, Heinrich Jaeger +1

Granular media are soft matter systems that exhibit some of the extreme behavior of complex fluids. Understanding of the natural formation of planetary bodies, landing on and explo…
