'Angel particle' which is both matter and anti-matter discovered
- drdeca 9y ago> It is thought the existence of fermions could be used to help bring about Uh, this probably could have been worded more clearly. Presumably they meant the existence of that specific type of fermion? Also, I got the impression that this is a quasiparticle, not like a proton or electron. If I'm correct about that, I think the article should have made it more clear?
- gus_massa 9y agoYep, it's a very badly written article. It´s a quasiparticle that lives only in some types of superconductors, i.e. it´s a weird configuration of the electrons in the superconductor.
