"Unveiling the Enigmatic Wigner Crystal: Physicists Capture Electrifying Image"

Physicists have successfully captured the first-ever image of electrons in a Wigner crystal, a quantum phase of matter predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934. Using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, the team observed electrons forming a lattice structure at very cold temperatures and low-density conditions, under the influence of a magnetic field. This breakthrough provides direct evidence of the Wigner crystal and opens the door to further exploration of how this phase transitions into other states of matter.
