 Cologne, Germany (SPX) Apr 02, 2019 
A team of physicists at the University of Cologne has, for the first time, seen a particularly exotic behaviour of electrons on an atomic scale. Electrons normally move almost freely through three-dimensional space. However, when they are forced to move in only one dimension - i.e. in a chain of atoms - they begin to act rather strangely.
The Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory predicted this ... more |
