A joint research team that included members from Tohoku University has unveiled a new topological insulator (TI), a unique state of matter that differs from conventional metals, insulators, and ...

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 ...

The Bernal-Fowler ice rules stipulate that each water molecule in an ice crystal should form four hydrogen bonds. However, in extreme or constrained conditions, the arrangement of water molecules ...

Realizing a one-dimensional (1D) topological insulator and identifying the lower-dimensional limit of two-dimensional (2D) behavior are crucial steps toward developing high-density quantum state ...

One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials are structures in which two dimensions are confined to the nanometer scale (1 to 100 nm), while the third dimension is much larger, resulting in wire-, ribbon-, or ...

Physicists at the University of Bonn and the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU) have created a one-dimensional gas out of light. This has enabled them to test theoretical predictions about the ...
