Granular materials are the most abundant class of materials processed, stored or handled. They span from cereals to advanced-new-materials and, although simple in composition, their behaviour remains elusive. Through the unique combination of an advanced X-ray tomography facility and cutting-edge 3D network analysis and statistical mechanics approach, the structure, mechanics and dynamic behaviour of these systems will be explored at the grain-scale. A greater understanding of this class of materials, which ranks second only to water on the scale of priorities of human activity, will have strong scientific, technological and economical impact in a wide range of fields from concrete to photonic-materials.

颗粒材料是最丰富的一类材料加工，储存或处理。 它们从谷物到先进的新材料，虽然成分简单，但它们的行为仍然难以捉摸。 通过先进的X射线断层扫描设备和尖端的3D网络分析和统计力学方法的独特组合，这些系统的结构，力学和动态行为将在颗粒尺度上进行探索。 这类材料在人类活动的优先级中仅次于水，对这类材料的更深入了解将在从混凝土到光子材料的广泛领域中产生强大的科学，技术和经济影响。
