Now, a new study claims to have spotted these particles in a semimetal material, which conducts electricity like a normal ...

It might be possible to probe a close analogue of zitterbewegung by recreating the mathematics of Dirac's equation in a quantum wire. Dirac's equation has an infinite number of solutions with ...

Enrico Fermi had to cajole his friend Ettore Majorana into publishing his big idea: a modification of the Dirac equation that would have profound ramifications for particle physics. Shortly ...

Role of Massless Fermions and the Dirac Equation Due to the presence of Dirac cones, electrical conduction in these materials can be described by the movement of charge carriers, which are massless ...

The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in the late 1920s with his equation describing how relativistic electrons – and with it most other matter particles – behave.
