The idea of these particles “goes against our common sense and it seems crazy.”
, could help scientists construct quantum computers that are resistant to the errors that currently bedevil the machines.
Particles in our regular 3-D world can’t do this magic trick. But when particles are confined to just two dimensions, the rules change. While scientists don’t have a 2-D universe in which to explore particles, they can manipulate materials or quantum computers to exhibit behavior like that of particles that live in two dimensions, creating objects known as quasiparticles.
In the 1990s, scientists realized that a specific version of an anyon, called a non-abelian anyon, could be used to build quantum computers that might safeguard fragile quantum information, which is easily knocked out of whack by minute disturbances.

X-ray emissions from black hole jets vary unexpectedly, challenging leading model of particle accelerationResearchers discovered only relatively recently that black hole jets emit X-rays, and how the jets accelerate particles to this high-energy state is still a mystery. Surprising new findings in Nature Astronomy appear to rule out one leading theory, opening the door to reimagining how particle acceleration works in the jets—and possibly also elsewhere in the universe.

Black Hole Paradox: Unstable X-ray Emissions Shake Foundations of Particle Acceleration TheoryContradicting long-standing theories, a recent study has found that x-ray emissions from black hole jets vary over short periods, and occur throughout the jets rather than solely at their origin. The research, based on data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, necessitates a reassessment of how parti

Semi-Visible Particle Jets: Is Dark Matter Hiding in Plain Sight?What happens if dark-matter particles are produced inside a jet of Standard-Model particles? This leads to a novel detector signature known as semi-visible jets! The ATLAS Collaboration has come up with the first search for semi-visible jets, looking for them in a general production mode where two p

Exploring Quantum Gravity: Physicists Tune In to the Cosmic Ring of Black HolesNew methods will allow for better tests of Einstein's general theory of relativity using LIGO data. Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes how the fabric of space and time, or spacetime, is curved in response to mass. Our sun, for example, warps space around us such that planet
