Since the beginning of the industrial age, material performance and design have been in the
midst of innovation of many disruptive technologies. Today's electronics, space, medical …

Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for
liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard …

An extensive update to a classic text Stochastic geometry and spatial statistics play a
fundamental role in many modern branches of physics, materials sciences, engineering …

Over the last several years, DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with
Noise) has been widely used in many areas of science due to its simplicity and the ability to …

" A particulate flow is one in which a moving fluid interacts with a large number of discrete
solid particles. The category is extraordinarily broad, encompassing everything from …

In 1989, Sir Sam Edwards made the visionary proposition to treat jammed granular materials
using a volume ensemble of equiprobable jammed states in analogy to thermal equilibrium …

Local structure characterization with the bond-orientational order parameters q 4, q 6,…

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …

Crystallization is one of the most fundamental nonequilibrium phenomena universal to a
variety of materials. It has so far been assumed that a supercooled liquid is in a …

Dense granular flow is common in nature and industrial applications. A hallmark behaviour
of granular flow is the emergence of a critical state when sufficient strain is applied, which …
