Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their “paraparticle,” described in Nature in ...

Cornell University scientists have found out why a rare crystal, ruthenium chloride, behaved as if exotic particles lived ...

Majorana fermions are theoretical particles predicted by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in 1937. Unlike traditional fermions that have distinct antiparticle counterparts, Majorana fermions are ...

Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot “travel” in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d’optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in ...

Physicists in the Netherlands say that they have found the first evidence for the existence of “Majorana fermions” – particles that are their own antiparticles. The researchers claim to have spotted ...

Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought ...

The combined paired and periodic structure of the bubble phase of composite fermions represents an entirely new family of matter. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Like finding a hidden world, physicists dialing ...

In recent years physicists have realized that fermions can exhibit superfluid behaviour because of their ability to pair up at very low temperatures. Now a US group has shown that if a mixture of ...

Quasiparticles that behave like massless fermions, known as Weyl fermions, have been in recent years at the center of a string of exciting findings in condensed matter physics. Physicists now report ...

Inside materials, the interactions between groups of electrons and atoms in the crystal lattice can give rise to a variety of interesting phenomena. Their collective behavior, especially at low ...
