110100 One-dimensional quantum nanowires fertile ground for Majorana zero modes
-
One-dimensional quantum 'nanowires' - which have length, but no width or height - provide a unique environment for the formation and detection of a quasiparticle known as a Majorana zero mode, which are their own antimatter particle. A new advance in detection of these exotic quasiparticles ... 2021-01-19 10:28:52 [anonymous]
