A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

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 ...

A joint research team from Japan has observed "heavy fermions," electrons with dramatically enhanced mass, exhibiting quantum entanglement governed by the Planckian time—the fundamental unit of time ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Weyl fermions that emerge at band crossings in momentum space caused by the spin–orbit interaction act as magnetic monopoles of the Berry curvature and contribute to a variety of novel transport ...

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 ...
