Fermions are just one of the basic categories of particles, and almost all of them are Dirac, meaning they have a complementary and distinctive antiparticle—think electron and positron.

One of them, his concept of 'Majorana fermions' — particles that are their own antiparticle — is finding ever wider relevance in modern physics.

Dirac fermions – in both typical and quasiparticle form – have properties that come in opposing particle and antiparticle forms. This semi-Dirac fermion detailed in the new study is a strange ...

Dirac cones, named after the renowned physicist Paul Dirac, are unique features found in the electronic band structures of certain materials, such as graphene and topological insulators. These cones ...
