In his short career, Ettore Majorana made several profound contributions. One of them, his concept of 'Majorana fermions' — particles that are their own antiparticle — is finding ever wider ...

A newly found antiparticle contains the heaviest antimatter nucleus that has ever been detected. It could potentially hold the secrets to how our universe came to be. The antimatter nucleus is ...

Scientists are searching for a ghostly neutrino particle that acts as its own antiparticle. If they find it, the discovery could resolve a cosmic conundrum: Why does matter exist at all?

Quantum transport theory for neutrinos with flavor and particle-antiparticle mixing Journal: Journal of High Energy Physics Published: 2024-02-27 DOI: 10.1007/jhep02 (2024)217 Affiliations: 2 ...

Physicists have created the first qubit from an antiparticle. The team is attempting to answer fundamental questions about the universe.

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 ...

Therefore, a particle and an antiparticle together are merely mass which, thanks to Einstein’s E=mc^2, can be converted entirely into energy. As a result of this, when matter and antimatter come ...

Physicists report that the charm meson (subatomic particle that contains a quark and an antiquark, with one of them being of the charm type) D 0 can be found in a superposition state of its ...

When a particle acts as its own antiparticle, it's called a Majorana particle. "The theories that we presently have simply don't tell us whether or not neutrinos are of that Majorana type.

Gelatin is used in the pharmaceutical industry to encapsulate active agents. It protects against oxidation and overly quick release. Nanopores in the material have a significant influence on this, yet ...
