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 ...

Left: Antarctic ice core and the bubbles contained in it. Right: Vacuum-ultraviolet light source and metastable krypton atom beam device. A team led by Prof. Zheng-Tian Lu and Prof. Wei Jiang from the ...

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 ...

When scientists peer into ancient Earth's climate, technological limitations make it difficult to see back more than about 800,000 years. But a game-changing technology 40 years in the making might ...

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 ...
