New article published: (Dis)continuousshearthickeninginfrictionlessgranularmedia?Continuous and discontinuous shear thickening are commonly observed in sheared dense suspensions but are still not fully understood. Although micro-friction at particle-particle contacts is widely accepted as the dominating origin of discontinuous shear thickening, if there is no interstitial fluid. With the help of discrete element simulations, we revisit shear thinning / thickening of dry granular packings and their possible origins at the (micro) contact- and (meso) structure-scales.Read more
New spin-off company CarbSorbTec was officially incorporated.On September 4th, our new spin-off company CarbSorbTec was officially incorporated. CarbSorbTec exploits functionalized clays to separate gas mixtures, in particular to upgrade biogas to biomethane by extracting CO2. With this start-up, we will contribute to a greener future.Read more
