In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, ...

The detection of Majorana fermion is one of the hotspots in the study of condensed matter recently. The research group in Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) achieved great breakthrough in the ...

A superconducting surface’s electromagnetic response can reveal the secrets of the exotic particles beneath Figure 1: A conceptual illustration of a Majorana fermion, which is also its own ...

Microsoft says its new Majorana 1 chip could lead to quantum computers capable of unprecedented power, using a newly observed state of matter.

There's a type of particle called a Majorana fermion that was hypothesized in 1937. This particle has some unique properties, and it's long been theorized that Majorana particles could prove ...

Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, a chip for quantum computing, which it said will enable computers to solve incredibly difficult industrial-scale problems.

The result is a so-called 'Majorana fermion' – a particle first theorized by mathematicians in 1937 but as yet not isolated experimentally. The finding is potentially important for the development of ...
