Physicists have created a one dimensional gas out of light particles for the first time. Studying how the photon gas behaves could help researchers discover some yet-unknown quantum optical effects.

How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. We should expect to see not only phenomena ...

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 ...

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 ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That’s the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...
