Granular materials easily transform from a solid state into a fluidized state when an external force, such as wind ripple on dunes, is applied. These granular materials are familiar, but several unresolved phenomena still remain, such as the Maxwell's demon and the Brazil-nut effect. European researchers have begun microgravity experiments using granular gas because the gas exhibits a non-equilibrium state with energy dissipation. We propose research programs on granular materials using microgravity.
