May 22, 2024 - In his thesis, Holger Götz investigated and characterized the granular gripper and granular metamaterials, two systems in which granular jamming is used to achieve variable stiffness. Additionally, he studied vibrated granulates in zero gravity conditions, investigating the causes of ...

October 13-17, 2024 - Olfa D'Angelo is co-organizing, with Thomas Voigtmann and Norman Wagner, a mini-session on Space Applications and Low-gravity Research at the Society of Rheology in Austin (TX), Oct. 13-17, 2024. This mini-session offers a platform for rheology and space-related science to m...

Continuing our 2024 ATOMS Seminar Series, we would like to invite you to our next seminar, which will be held next Thursday, May 16th, at 12h (Brasília time, UTC – 3). We will open the Zoom meeting at 11h30 (Brasília time, UTC – 3) so everyone can enter in advance and the webinar starts on time. Fo...

March 11, 2024 - Olfa D’Angelo and Geovane de Jesus Rodrigues used the new generation drop tower, the Gravity Tower Bremen (GTB) at ZARM in Bremen, for the first ever commercial campaign simulating Moon’s gravity. Their experiments will help future space missions planning by better understanding the...
