Dirac's equation can no longer be considered mysterious, given its central position in modern physics. But 60 years later, some of the equation's features have yet to be explored experimentally.

Scientists have recently identified a particle known as the Dirac semi-fermion, exhibiting behavior that defies expectations.

Scientists have made a satisfying and intriguing physics discovery some 16 years after it was first predicted to be a ...

At the heart of Dirac materials' unique properties is the Dirac cone, a linear dispersion of the electronic band structure near the Fermi level. This feature results in electrons moving through the ...

Semi-Dirac fermions are somewhere between Dirac ... lead author and Penn State physicist, said in a university statement, “and it turns out we had made the first observation of these wild ...

"This was totally unexpected," said Yinming Shao, assistant professor of physics at Penn State and lead author on the paper. "We weren't even looking for a semi-Dirac fermion when we started ...
