Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established in 2012 by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

Sand’s Approach to Yield: How Granular Materials Creep and Fail—Casey BESTER

Examples of granular materials exist in abundance, from rice and cereal to sand and rocks. These particulate systems seem simple; they consist of dry, rigid grains that interact by contact forces. However, granular materials present many questions to address, such as how force distributes heterogeneously among grains and how flow ...
