Direct observation of medium-range crystalline order in granular liquids near the glass transition

Collective behavior of driven granular matter is often strikingly analogous to that of thermal systems. Here we use a vibrated quasi-two-dimensional granular matter as a model system and investigate the mechanism of the liquid-glass transition. We demonstrate by direct observation the existence of l...
