Physicists have created a one-dimensional gas out of light. This has enabled them to test theoretical predictions about the transition into this exotic state of matter for the first time. The method ...

One-dimensional turbulence (ODT) modelling represents a powerful stochastic framework for simulating turbulent flows while reducing computational complexity. By focussing on a single spatial dimension ...

Observing vibrational coherences which appear as quantum beats on a spectrograph, and catching an elusive quasiparticle-Exciton polaron. The spectrograph records a projection of macroscopic ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...

What just happened? Physicists have managed to turn light particles into what they describe as an "exotic state of matter" – a one-dimensional gas. They did this by confining the photons in a tiny ...
