Close-die compaction of 15 % of large hard particles embedded in a soft powder matrix.
Large hard particles turn to different colors as their coordination with other hard particles increases.    
Periodic conditions on the vertical axis. 300 000 particles in total (most of the white soft particles have been removed for clarity)
