A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

Strong interactions between particles in physical systems can result in various highly correlated ground states. These states and the strong correlations underpinning them have been extensively ...

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 ...

The totality of existence can be divided into these categories, each with a vital role in the structure of the universe. Every single particle fits into one of just three classes, or kingdoms: bosons, ...

Physicists at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, have achieved a milestone that might soon revolutionize the world of quantum computing, quantum physics, and perhaps shed new light on ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There are only two types of fundamental particle known in the entire ...

The fermionizer: physicists have used this experimental set-up to make bosonic atoms behave like fermions. (Courtesy: Nate Follmer/Penn State) Physicists in the US have shown that normally gregarious ...

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 ...
