A Majorana fermion (/maɪəˈrɑːnə/), also referred to as a Majorana particle, is a fermion that is its own antiparticle. They were hypothesised by Ettore...

varieties of fermions, with the three most common types being: Weyl fermions (massless), Dirac fermions (massive), and Majorana fermions (each its own...

ship from Palermo to Naples. The Majorana equation and Majorana fermions are named after him. In 2006, the Majorana Prize was established in his memory...

possible that the neutrino might be a Weyl fermion (it is now expected to be either a Dirac or a Majorana fermion). In condensed matter physics, some materials...

each known fermion has its own distinct antiparticle. It is not known whether the neutrino is a Dirac fermion or a Majorana fermion. Fermions are the basic...

2-component Weyl spinor. It is not known whether the neutrino is a Majorana fermion or a Dirac fermion; observing neutrinoless double-beta decay experimentally...

then properly be called fermions; fermions have the algebraic qualities of spinors. By general convention, the terms "fermion" and "spinor" are often...
