We demonstrate, using magnetotransport measurements of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas, striking cavity-induced anisotropies in the electronic transport, including the suppression of the longitudinal resistance well below the resistivity at zero magnetic field. Our cavity-induced effects occur at ultralow temperatures (< 200 mK) when the magnetic field lies between quantized Hall plateaus. We interpret our results as arising from the stabilization of thermally-disordered quantum Hall stripes. Our work presents a clear demonstration of the cavity QED control of a correlated electronic phase.
