Yet, despite the successful transition from 3D to 2D, the barrier separating 2D and 1D has been significantly more challenging to overcome. A class of materials known as transition metal ...

Of course, the research community didn't stop there. Intrigued by the possibilities offered by 2D van der Waals heterostructures, the exploration of one-dimensional (1D) analogs of these ...

Physicists have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in the topological insulator bismuth iodide. A Rice University team and its collaborators ...

(Artistic illustration courtesy: IAP/Uni Bonn) By tuning the spatial dimension of an optical quantum gas from 2D to 1D, physicists at Germany’s University of Bonn and University of ...

"This is due to the unique 2D quantum confinement inside the 1D nanowire as well as the greatly improved crystal quality." The research has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Science.

HOUSTON – (Aug. 24, 2021) – A Rice University team and its collaborators have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in topological crystals of ...
