This course covers the physical and mechanical characteristics of particulate materials and methods to measure these properties. Participants will explore the behavior of particles, granules, and ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 286, No. 1404 (May 25, 1965), pp. 79-97 (19 pages) A method is propounded for describing the state of ...

The Johnson–Kendall–Roberts theory is the basis of modern contact mechanics. It describes how two deformable objects adhere together, driven by adhesion energy and opposed by elasticity. Here we ...

Observing the behavior of the particles in the composite metals helps to understand the mechanism of losing its strength and ductility, which makes possible to design the composites metals with higher ...

An electron has been observed to decay into two separate parts, each carrying a particular property of the electron: a spinon carrying its spin -- the property making the electron behave as a tiny ...

Almost everything is made of particles. Particles can be atoms, molecules or ions. Particles behave differently in solids, liquids and gases. The particle model explains the differences between solids ...

Scientists are a step closer to creating quantum computers after making light behave like crystal. The research team made the discovery by inventing a machine that uses quantum mechanics to make ...

When we think of particles, we tend to think of them as real objects – tiny, point-like entities with definite properties such as position or speed. But particles are really just energetic spikes in ...
