Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

One of the cleanest rules in theoretical physics may have a crack in it. A preprint posted in May 2026 by physicists Vladimir ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Theoretical model indicates how topologically protected quantum excitations can support qubits that are less sensitive to noise and environmental imperfections.

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 ...
