Magnetic atoms arranged in neat rows Date: August 3, 2016 Source: University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Summary: Physicists have successfully created one-dimensional magnetic atom chains for the first ...

Meet graphene’s newest metallic cousin, goldene. For the first time, researchers have created a free-standing sheet of gold that’s just one atom thick.. The development, reported in the April ...

Scientists have made the first direct observations of a one-dimensional boundary separating two different, atom-thin materials, enabling studies of long-theorized phenomena at these interfaces.

And now, they've started experimenting with one-dimensional materials, which are essentially a line of single atoms. Unfortunately, single atoms aren't especially cooperative about getting in line.

In our three-dimensional universe (or four, if you count time), it's impossible for a material to be truly 1D or 2D – a sheet of paper still has thickness, no matter how small that may be.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have made the first direct observations of a one-dimensional boundary separating two different, atom-thin materials, enabling ...

Physicists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Vienna University of Technology have successfully created one-dimensional magnetic atom chains for the first time. Their ...
