A crystal where electrons prefer emptiness: in tungsten diselenide, particles gather not at atoms, but between them. This changes our idea of the internal structure of matter and promises stable qubits for quantum computers.
🎯 The most amazing part: electrons move from atoms to voids not gradually, but in a leap, like a switch between two realities.
