Scientists in the Netherlands have succeeded for the first time in detecting a Majorana particle. In the 1930s, Italian physicist Ettore Majorana deduced from quantum theory the possibility of the ...

Carlo Artemi has announced the release of his new book, Emanuela Orlandi and Ettore Majorana: Two Italian Mysteries Resolved? Discover the captivating true stories of Emanuela Orlandi and Ettore ...

There are a number of things that we still don’t understand about our universe. Case in point, since the 1930s, scientists have been searching for particles that are simultaneously matter and ...

In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac made the stunning prediction that every fundamental particle in the universe has an antiparticle – its identical twin but with opposite charge. In 1937, another brilliant ...

The NEMO (Neutrino Ettore Majorana Observatory) experiment, whose goal was to elucidate the nature of neutrinos and measure their mass, yielded very positive results. The product of an extensive ...

Physicists at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, have achieved a milestone that might soon revolutionize the world of quantum computing, quantum physics, and perhaps shed new light on ...

Protected states: Sven Albrecht and Charles Marcus. (Courtesy: Ola Jakup Joensen/Niels Bohr Institute) An important property of Majorana quasiparticles has been measured for the first time by ...

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...

Leo Kouwenhoven is a professor of physics at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. He ended the 75-year hunt for the Majorana fermion—a particle that is its own antiparticle—by creating ...

Physicists in the Netherlands say that they have found the first evidence for the existence of “Majorana fermions” – particles that are their own antiparticles. The researchers claim to have spotted ...

Theoretically predicted about decades ago, the Majorana is expected to revolutionize quantum computing, particularly the topological-based, more stable approach, which is being led by Microsoft. The ...

Scientists have long accepted that every particle that exists has its own antiparticle that can smash it out of existence. But in 1937, the physicist Ettore Majorana posited an even stranger idea: ...
