Physicists Just Found More Hints of an Elusive Particle That's Its Own Antiparticle Matter and antimatter, simultaneously.
BEC CREW 26 OCT 2016
Almost 80 years ago, an Italian physicist proposed that a particle could exist as both matter and antimatter at the same time. Called the Majorana fermion, this mysterious state of matter set off a decades-long hunt, with scientists finding the first real evidence of its existence earlier this year.
And now physicists in China have discovered that an elusive type of quasiparticle can behave just like a Majorana fermion, and it could help us to finally understand this incredibly weird phenomenon. http://www.sciencealert.com/physicists-just-found-more-hints-of-an-elusive-particle-that-is-its-own-antiparticle more at link.
