Korean scientists discover electronic crystallites in solid material for the first time

Korean scientists have discovered electronic crystallites in a solid material for the first time, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT. This finding could advance research on high-temperature superconductivity. The research team, led by Professor Kim Keun-su at Yonsei University, published their findings in the journal Nature. This marks the first experimental evidence of a structure theorized by physicist Eugene Wigner in 1934. The team identified electronic crystallites measuring 1 to 2 nanometers. This discovery may help clarify the understanding of high-temperature superconductivity and superfluidity, which have potential applications in various industries.
