The observed electronic smectic liquid crystal phase in the van der Waals heterostructures provides valuable insights into the behavior of strongly correlated electron systems in low dimensions. This phase, characterized by ordered electron arrangements along the chain direction but disorder between chains, highlights the delicate balance between intra- and inter-chain interactions in 1D electron systems. Understanding the properties of the electronic smectic phase can shed light on the nature of quantum correlations, phase transitions, and collective phenomena in low-dimensional materials. Moreover, this phase could serve as a model system for studying the interplay between electronic ordering and disordering processes, offering new perspectives on the behavior of strongly correlated electrons in confined geometries.
