On March 27, 1938, Italian physicist Ettore Majorana vanished without a trace at the age of 31. Intellectually brilliant yet emotionally conflicted ...

A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

Researchers have, for the first time, described the properties of one-dimensional anyons and outlined how these particles can be observed using existing experimental setups.

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

One of the cleanest rules in theoretical physics may have a crack in it. A preprint posted in May 2026 by physicists Vladimir ...

A new study suggests that influence from fermionic fields could be causing black holes to defy one of their own core rules.

Dark matter is thought to exist everywhere, wrapping around galaxies and helping to shape the largest things in the universe.

Collisional quantum gates based on fermionic atoms have been realized independently by researchers in Germany and Switzerland ...

Theoretical and experimental work described in Nature Physics expands the repertoire of exotic phases of matter.
