Gordon Research Conference
The GRC Conference “Granular Matter” was held again at Stonehill College.
Tom Mullin visits
Tom Mullin was visiting us this week, to discuss our projects on sinking (and rising) intruders in soft hydrogel packings. We had a great time with many inspiring discussions to stimulate another work of science. The first year students helping out on the project could also join for the dinner, connecting several generations of scientists!
Salamina Grain Workshop
Traveling to Masseria Salamina for a fantastic setting to do science in small groups. The location was perfect, food was amazing, the pool refreshing, and despite the distraction, lots of science got done. And Bari, the closest major town, has huge grains for coastal protection.
Science fair fun
We had a demo at the annual EXPEDITIE NEXT, in Zwolle this time. We’ll be back next year with more fluidized beds, hourglasses, kinetic sand, Janssen effects and maybe more!
The gravity of the situation
Visiting Olfa D’Angelo doing hypergravity research on granular materials at ESA / ESTEC in Noordwijk. The museum visit was the cherry on the cake.
Bo Fan graduated
Congratulations! The thesis can be found her.e.
What if…
Your drink also has… particles! Then you either love particles and see them everywhere, or you are tipsy. Or both,
Particles 2023
The Particles 2023 was hosted in Milan this year. As always it was good to catch up with colleagues and friends: Chris, Lou, Riccardo, Vanessa, Rouven and many others were there to connect about, yes, particles!
Thanks Ken
