Granular Materials Consisting of Discrete Particles That Can Collectively Behave Like a Solid, a Liquid, or a Gas
How Animals and Robots Interact With Granular Matter as a Soft and Yielding Medium
Reveal Their Related Solid and Fluid Mechanics as Well as Statistical Physics Using a Combination of 2D and 3D Experiments, Discrete Particle Simulations, as Well as Machine-Learning Informed Modeling
Understand How They Deform From a Structure-Property Perspective, Based on Which We Design Particle Interactions and Dynamics at the Microscopic Scale for Novel Collective Behaviors at the Material Scale
