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.

However, granular materials present many questions to address, such as how force distributes heterogeneously among grains and how flow ...
