Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

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 ...

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...

Microsoft has published the culmination of 20 years of research into subatomic particles, known as Majorana fermions, which it aims to use to build a million-qubit quantum computer. The research has ...

Amy McCarthy is a former reporter at Eater, focusing on pop culture, policy and labor, and only the weirdest online trends. As The Menu, director Mark Mylod’s chilling 2022 send-up of the world of ...

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 ...

A research team has achieved a groundbreaking quantum simulation of the non-Hermitian skin effect in two dimensions using ultracold fermions, marking a significant advance in quantum physics research.

Scientists have discovered semi-Dirac fermions, quasiparticles that behave as massless in one direction and massive in another, inside a crystal of ZrSiS. This discovery, achieved using advanced ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent of ...

Scientists report the first known observation of a variety of quasiparticle that exhibits a very peculiar behavior: it appears to have mass, but only while moving in one direction. Scientists at ...
