CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, April 11 -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued the following news:
Physicists at MIT and elsewhere have observed evidence of Majorana fermions -- particles that are theorized to also be their own antiparticle -- on the surface of a common metal: gold. This is the first sighting of Majorana fermions on a platform that can potentially be scaled up. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are a major step to . . .
