A groundbreaking study by Rice University physicist Kaden Hazzard and former student Zhiyuan Wang has established the ...

Don Lincon, a senior scientist at the U.S. particle physics laboratory Fermilab, describes bosons as “puppies of the subatomic world” because you can have an unlimited number of bosons in the same ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their ‘paraparticle’, described in ...

These four fundamental forces exist between fermions (quarks and leptons). They arise from the exchange of bosons. Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion ...

This is fundamentally different from the behavior of conventional fermions and bosons, offering a new mechanism for quantum computation. The unique properties of Majorana fermions hold great promise ...

A common one is as fermions and bosons: fermions make up matter and ... can host exotic particles that one can discover in table-top experiments — whereas to discover subatomic particles we ...

For example: physics traditionally tells us that all particles can be classified into one of two types, either bosons or fermions, depending on their properties and behavior. But math says that ...

Fundamental particles fall within two camps—fermions or bosons—but a new study suggests ... foundational idea that forms the very periodic table. For now, these paraparticles have only been ...
