particles Recent work suggests a whole new category of quasiparticles called paraparticles might exist. After decades of thinking we had only two options (bosons or fermions) scientists discovered a possible third way.
They have only explored these proposed objects in one- and two-dimensional mathematical models, but there is no ironclad reason to dismiss their presence in our three-dimensional world.
Dr. Kaden Hazzard at Rice University appears as one of the key researchers behind this study.
He and his colleague Zhiyuan Wang, now at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, carried out an in-depth analysis to challenge the assumption that no other particle types could exist.
How paraparticles might work
“Particles aren’t just these fundamental things,” said Hazzard at the end of one of the study’s statements.That comment underscores a focus on quasiparticles, which are effective descriptions of how groups of regular particles behave when they interact.
