We love interactions, in particular with particles
Swirls in sheared granular media – they exist and depend on the volume fraction.

We developed a new shear cell based on a design from JC Tsai, but now compatible with commercial rheometers and x-ray scanning devices.

The title speaks a thousand words. Well only seven, but that’s enough in this case.

Fortunately we now have recorded lectures to serve as flipped classroom material! Thanks Peter for editing.
This year the Advanced Soft Matter practicum has a project related to the Smart Dust team. The Smart Dust team will be doing drop tower experiments in Bremen, to detect the collective behavior of a set of “smart” particles.
The team of students from Otto von Guericke University, where our collaborator Ralf Stannarius works, will do granular gas experiments with balls equipped with smart sensors!
Onsager reciprocity is a pain to explain… Even with Callen‘s help!
Soft probabilistic fasteners (aka Velcro) can be made.
