Researchers at Brown University in the US have observed fractional excitons, a new class of quantum materials in a global ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics has long classified particles into just two distinct types: fermions and bosons. Now physicists from Rice University in the US have found a third type might be possible after all ...

A Rice physics professor has proven the existence of particles that were long thought impossible. Kaden Hazzard and his ...

Unlike the familiar fermions (like electrons) and bosons (photons), paraparticles follow a different set of quantum rules. Green’s theory, known as parastatistics, suggested that these particles ...

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 ... Continue Reading → ...

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 ...

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined ...
