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 ...

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. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s ...

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 ...

Researchers from the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham captured the moment when Kr atoms united, one by one, inside a “nano test tube” container that had a diameter half a million ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods to capture the moment when krypton (Kr) atoms joined ...
