Abstract
The simplest possible structural transition that an electronic system can undergo is Wigner crystallization. The aim of this short review is to discuss the main aspects of three recent experimets on the one dimensional Wigner molecule, starting from scratch. To achieve this task, the Luttinger liquid theory of weakly and strongly interacting fermions will be shortly addressed, together with the basic properties of carbon nanotubes that are require. Then, the most relevant properties of Wigner molecules will be addressed, and finally the experiments will be described.
