Dirac electrons develop in certain conditions where cone-shaped openings appear in solid matter. A new paper detailing ...

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 ...

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.
