In a first, US researchers have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum particles, that were only theoretically ...

In quantum mechanics, it’s usually thought there are only two types of particle statistics: fermions and bosons, with an exception for anyons in two dimensions. Another exception, parastatistics, ...

For decades, the realm of particle physics has been governed by two major categories: fermions and bosons. Fermions, like quarks and leptons, make up matter, while bosons, such as photons and gluons, ...

The second cool thing about axions is that they are bosons. Bosons are a kind of particle that can all share the same quantum state, meaning you can stuff as many of them into a compact volume as ...

The course unit details given below are subject to change, and are the latest example of the curriculum available on this course of study. At Stage 3, students must take module totalling 120 units as ...

In third year you study in more depth topics of particular interest to you, for example, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory and tensor field theory. You will have partially fulfilled the ...

It was previously believed that all fundamental particles fall into only two categories, fermions and bosons, according to Andrew Long, a Rice professor specializing in theoretical particle physics.

In certain crystals, quasiparticles called Weyl fermions emerge from the collective ... relevant materials lie between these extremes. For example, a semiconductor has a small ‘energy gap ...
