Top: Photographs of the initial moments of a collision between two clusters of solid CO2 particles. A jamming front moves across the clusters after the collision. Bottom: Snapshots of a simulation of a collision between two 5000-particle elliptical clusters, showing a similar jamming front. Color indicates velocity; time increases left to right. Selected for an Editors' Suggestion.
