Scientists discover new state of matter.

A team of physicists has uncovered a new state of matter—a breakthrough that offers promise for increasing storage capabilities in electronic devices and enhancing quantum computing.



"Our research has succeeded in revealing experimental evidence for a new state of matter—topological superconductivity," says Javad Shabani, an assistant professor of physics at New York University. "This new topological state can be manipulated in ways that could both speed calculation in quantum computing and boost storage."

""The new discovery of topological superconductivity in a two-dimensional platform paves the way for building scalable topological qubits to not only store quantum information, but also to manipulate the quantum states that are free of error," observes Shaban".


The article talks about marjorana fermions. The article is interesting but I admit that I have no idea what kind of particle that is. Classical physics is hard enough to understand without talking about quantum particles being their own antiparticle. Weird stuff.
