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 ...

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 ...

Evidence for the existence of particles called Weyl fermions in two very different solid materials has been found by three independent groups of physicists. First predicted in 1929, Weyl fermions also ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today, quantum optical experiments provide methods to prove the rules that have been thought of and pressed into elegant mathematical equations in those days, say scientists. The microcosm is governed ...

For the first time, scientists from the CMS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have succeeded in finding evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson into fermions. Previously, ...

We first perform core-level photoemission measurements, which confirm the chemical composition of MoP (Fig. 2a). Next we investigate the electronic structure of MoP with systematic ARPES measurements ...

An international team led by Princeton University scientists has discovered an elusive massless particle theorized 85 years ago. The particle could give rise to faster and more efficient electronics ...
