Paul Dirac's famous equation, which he first wrote down in January of 1928, predicted the existence of a spin-1/2 particle and a corresponding antiparticle. The ensuing experimental discovery of the ...

A new, multi-node FLEET review, published in Matter, investigates the search for Majorana fermions in iron-based superconductors. The elusive Majorana fermion, or "angel particle" proposed by Ettore ...

Definition: Majorana fermions are enigmatic particles that act as their own antiparticles, distinguished by their neutral charge and the ability to annihilate themselves. Their theoretical existence ...

Two halves: Artist’s impression of a photon that has been “split” into halves. (Courtesy: LaDarius Dennison/Dartmouth College) The Majorana fermion was first proposed as a subatomic particle by the ...

The story so far: In a paper published on June 21, researchers at Microsoft announced that they had figured out a way to create an elusive kind of particle that could potentially revolutionise quantum ...

In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac made the stunning prediction that every fundamental particle in the universe has an antiparticle – its identical twin but with opposite charge. When particle and ...
