"Creating One-Dimensional Gas by Trapping Krypton Atoms"
Chemists at Ulm University used buckyballs to trap krypton atoms and squeeze them into a one-dimensional gas within a carbon nanotube, a feat never achieved before. By employing transmission electron microscopy, the team was able to observe and track the movement of the krypton atoms as they were confined in the nanotube. This breakthrough in studying atoms in such confined conditions could provide valuable insights into the behavior of matter at extreme scales.
