Wind tunnels experiments show sand grains can be lofted on Mars to create dunes.
NASA scientist Jason Barnes says Titan and Earth have much in common, but not when it comes to sand.
... because attractive interactions between molecules produce surface tension. If macroscopic objects—say, grains of sand—replace the molecules, the relative strength of this attraction would dramatically ...
