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 ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, ...
