Researchers report on new advances in the understanding of fractional angular momentum and anyon statistics of impurities in Laughlin liquids. While in a three-dimensional world, all particles must be ...

In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, ...

While particle physicists wait with some anxiety to see whether the Large Hadron Collider will produce any new physics beyond the standard model, it's rather delightful to see some of the field's ...

While in a three-dimensional world, all particles must be either fermions or bosons, it is known that in fewer dimensions, the existence of particles with intermediate quantum statistics, known as ...
