In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Embezzlement of entanglement is an exotic phenomenon in quantum information science, describing the possibility of extracting entanglement from a resource system without changing its quantum state. In ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. There are only two types of fundamental particle known in the entire ...

Researchers working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claim to have created a method to better observe fermions – the sub-atomic building blocks of matter – by constructing a ...

Researchers have synthesized the first 2D heavy fermion. The material, a layered intermetallic crystal composed of cerium, silicon, and iodine (CeSiI), has electrons that are 1000x heavier and is a ...

Physicists captured the first images that directly show the pairing of fermions. The snapshots of particles pairing up in a cloud of atoms can provide clues to how electrons pair up in a ...

Editor’s note: On November 17, 2022, Science retracted the study described in this article, in part because “an analysis of the raw and published data revealed serious irregularities and discrepancies ...
