On my commute to work today, I had the misfortune of being crammed into a narrow tube underground. But it could have been worse: I could’ve been squished into a single dimension. That’s what recently ...

Left: Antarctic ice core and the bubbles contained in it. Right: Vacuum-ultraviolet light source and metastable krypton atom beam device. A team led by Prof. Zheng-Tian Lu and Prof. Wei Jiang from the ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. The behavior of atoms has been studied by ...

Krypton atoms can be forced into a “traffic jam” within a carbon nanotube, unable to pass each other, allowing scientists to more easily observe how they interact. Researchers hope this ...

Scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods ...
