"The narrower this gutter is, the more one-dimensionally the gas behaves." By studying their newly-created 1D photon gas, the researchers confirmed that it behaves quite differently from its 2D form.

Dr. Wang explains that in 1D, quantum effects become far more dramatic. "The crowd reacts in ways that blur those sharp peaks, creating what we call anomalous Fermi singularities. These are like ...

Instead of acting like a 2D system as expected, it behaves like a 1D system. This breakthrough changes how we understand these mysterious materials, offering new insights into magnetism and ...
