The three-fold symmetry indicated here reveals the spinel crystal structure.

Researchers have applied advanced scanning methods to visualize the previously unexplored surface of a superconductor: lithium titanate. Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tohoku University and the University of Tokyo have applied advanced scanning methods to visualize the previously unexplored surface of a superconductor: lithium titanate (LiTi2O4).

LiTi2O4 is the only known example of a spinel oxide superconductor...
