Direct Visualization of the Nematic Superconductivity in Cu_{x}Bi_{2}Se_{3}

Cu_{x}Bi_{2}Se_{3} hosts both topological surface states and bulk superconductivity. It has been identified recently as a topological superconductor (TSC) with an extraordinary nematic, i.e., C_{2}-symmetric superconducting state and odd-parity pairing. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, we...
