DESCRIPTION
Scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods to capture the moment when Kr atoms joined together, one by one, inside a 'nano test tube' container with diameter half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair.
