Sand in an hourglass might seem simple and straightforward, but such granular materials are actually tricky to model. From far away, flowing sand resembles a liquid, streaming down the center of an ...

Tesla tweeted out a video Sunday morning of its Tesla Model X rolling over after being shoved onto a sandbox by a sled. But even if the tweet read "...the first and only SUV to achieve a NHTSA 5-Star ...

Sand production remains a pervasive challenge in the oil and gas industry, particularly in reservoirs composed of unconsolidated or weakly consolidated sandstones. The phenomenon occurs when ...

Cambridge scientists have used downscaled laboratory models to show how sand dunes move through a landscape, revealing the conditions that determine whether they will pass through hurdles in their ...

People flocked to Park Point on Thursday to enjoy the warm temperatures, sculpt sand castles with their friends and family, play beach volleyball and dip their feet in the cool Lake Superior water.

The prediction of the angle of repose for raised mounds of dry cohesive granular material is a long-standing problem in the natural sciences and in industry. Using numerical (particle-based) ...

Tesla Model 3 owners in cold climate are starting to uncover what appears to be a design flaw in an underbody panel of the vehicle – resulting in sand and water getting stuck. Over the years, Tesla ...

The model, published in Physical Review Fluids, is the first to describe interactions between sand dunes and obstacles. By analysing how currents are deflected in the presence of an obstacle, they ...
