Photographing Wigner Crystals

Published Mon, Oct 25, 2021
Imagine a physical system so delicate that even measuring it could disturb it. These are Wigner's crystals, a phase of matter with such low densities that the electric repulsion between electrons becomes more important than the minimal kinetic energy imposed by quantum mechanics. The phenomenon...
