Scientists Achieve Groundbreaking Electron Trapping in 3D Crystal
Researchers have successfully trapped electrons in a three-dimensional crystal, creating a flat band state that exhibits quantum effects such as superconductivity. By using a 3D kagome-shaped lattice, the team was able to trap electrons in all three dimensions. The crystal was then turned into a superconductor by making a chemical modification. This breakthrough opens up possibilities for studying new physics and developing technologies such as ultra-efficient power lines and faster electronic devices.
