The balance of capillary attraction and magnetic repulsion creates a self-assembly [4] as shown in the front picture. These structures are then perturbed by applying an oscillating [...]

The morphology of grains can also be determined by [...]

]]> Comment on Relative Humidity matters by Building sandcastles grain by grain | GRASP | Soft Matter | University of Liège http://grasp-lab.org/2012/04/22/rhmatters/#comment-345 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:50:54 +0000 https://nicovdw.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-345 [...] a conical pyramid. As known by any sandcastle architect, the addition of some liquid induces cohesion between the grains due to the surface tension and capillary effects. During the last years, different groups studied the mechanical properties of wet granular piles, [...]
