The Majorana fermion, however, doesn’t have a charge, which allows it to be matter and anti-matter at the same time. Yes, that is incredibly confusing, even to quantum physicists, and they’re ...

80 years after it was first theorized, researchers have found more evidence for the existence of a fermion that's its own antiparticle. The discovery of Majorana fermions could be the key to ...

Majorana fermions are a source of great intrigue to theorists because they are their own antiparticle. Beenakker traces the history of Majorana fermions from their prediction in 1937 by the Italian ...

Majorana fermion is an exotic particle, whose anti-particle is exactly the same with itself. In condensed matter, Majorana fermion exists as a quasi-particle excitation in topological superconductors.

A 2017 report of the discovery of a particular kind of Majorana fermion--the chiral Majorana fermion, referred to as the 'angel particle'--is likely a false alarm, according to new research.

Abstract Majorana fermion is a hypothetical particle that is its own antiparticle. We report transport measurements that suggest the existence of one-dimensional chiral Majorana fermion modes in the ...

Only the existence of the Majorana fermion is protected—its internal state is subject to everything outside the wire. To understand the implications of this, let's take a quick step back.

No one really knew how they would go about searching for this particle until 2001, which is why it's taken the better half of a century to detect it. Meet the Majorana fermion.

Scientists at TU Delft’s Kavli Institute and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM Foundation) have succeeded for the first time in detecting a Majorana particle. In the 1930s, the ...
