Granular materials, such as sand or beads, can behave like both solids and liquids depending on conditions; for example, a pile of sand might hold its shape until disturbed, leading to avalanches that mimic fluid flow, a concept that inspired the 1990s development of granular physics to explain real-world events like landslides affecting millions annually.
