Heavy fermion materials are heavy because their electrons are entangled and slowed down by magnetic ions. These interactions ...

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 ...

New fermion microscope able to see up to 1,000 individual fermionic atoms Date: May 13, 2015 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Physicists have built a microscope that is able ...

Yet researchers at Leibniz University Hannover have now shown that universal embezzlement emerges in all critical fermion chains, meaning one-dimensional fermion systems at quantum phase ...

Heavy-fermion materials such as cerium indide (CeIn 3) are so called because their conduction electrons, which are fermions, move as if they are hundreds of times more massive than electrons in ...

The new particle, called the Weyl fermion, can move electrical charge more quickly than an electron because it has no mass. But that's where it gets weird, because the Weyl fermion can act as ...
