RIKEN physicists have devised a theoretical method to probe elusive Majorana fermions in topological superconductors by ...

There's a reason they're known as ghost particles. Antineutrinos are the antiparticle counterpart to neutrinos. Usually, an antiparticle has the opposite charge to its particle equivalent ...

One of them, his concept of 'Majorana fermions' — particles that are their own antiparticle — is finding ever wider relevance in modern physics. Enrico Fermi had to cajole his friend Ettore ...

As of 2024, all fermions except for the neutrino have been proven to have a distinct antiparticle, implying that they are not Majorana fermions and are termed Dirac fermions. While they are a ...
