New Research at Pitt Engineering Reveals Potential for Synthetic Materials Systems that Can “Count” and Sense their Size

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering have utilized computational modeling to mimic such quorum sensing behavior in synthetic materials, which could lead to devices with the ability for self-recognition and self-regulation.

An Experiment Proposed by Stanford Theorists Finds Evidence for the Majorana Fermion, a Particle that’s its Own Antiparticle

In a discovery that concludes an 80-year quest, Stanford and University of California researchers found evidence of particles that are their own antiparticles. These 'Majorana fermions’ could one day help make quantum computers more robust.
