TLDR
Granular materials are ubiquitous in the world around us as discussed by the authors and have properties that are different from those commonly associated with either solids, liquids, or gases, and some of the special properties of granular materials and describe recent research developments.Abstract:
Granular materials are ubiquitous in the world around us. They have properties that are different from those commonly associated with either solids, liquids, or gases. In this review the authors select some of the special properties of granular materials and describe recent research developments.[S0034-6861(96)00204-8]read more

A route to high surface area, porosity and inclusion of large molecules in crystals
Hee K. Chae,Diana Y. Siberio-Pérez,Jaheon Kim,Yong Bok Go,Mohamed Eddaoudi,Adam J. Matzger,Michael O'Keeffe,Omar M. Yaghi +7 more
TL;DR: The design, synthesis and properties of crystalline Zn4O(1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate)2 are reported, a new metal-organic framework with a surface area estimated at 4,500 m2 g-1 that combines this exceptional level of surface area with an ordered structure that has extra-large pores capable of binding polycyclic organic guest molecules.

Theoretical perspective on the glass transition and amorphous materials
Ludovic Berthier,Giulio Biroli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials, and on the rheology of soft glassy materials.

Physics of liquid jets
Jens Eggers,Emmanuel Villermaux +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the fundamental and technological aspects of these subjects can be found in this article, where the focus is mainly on surface tension effects, which result from the cohesive properties of liquids Paradoxically, cohesive forces promote the breakup of jets, widely encountered in nature, technology and basic science.

Discrete particle simulation of particulate systems: Theoretical developments
TL;DR: This paper reviews the work in this area with special reference to the discrete element method and associated theoretical developments, and covers three important aspects: models for the calculation of the particle–particle and particle–fluid interaction forces, coupling of discrete elements method with computational fluid dynamics to describe particle-fluid flow, and the theories for linking discrete to continuum modelling.

A constitutive law for dense granular flows
TL;DR: The results support the idea that a simple visco-plastic approach can quantitatively capture granular flow properties, and could serve as a basic tool for modelling more complex flows in geophysical or industrial applications.

Nonlinear Science Today
TL;DR: This article is an example of the hands-on, open-ended quality of articles that include software supplements: it is easy to reproduce, modify and extend the results given in the article by using Mathematica with Sullivan's software 4-D Polytopes.
