Atanasoff, Tesla, and Besser

In the late 20th century, a trial captioned Honeywell versus Sperry Rand took place todetermine the actual inventor of the electronic digital computer. A United States District Courtfound that the two individuals generally credited with the invention did not in fact invent themachine but derived their fundamental design from one John Vincent Atanasoff. During his … Read more

Physicists Describe Exotic ‘Paraparticles’ that Defy Categorization

Theoretical physicists have proposed the existence of a new type of particle that doesn’t fit into the conventional classifications of fermions and bosons. Their ‘paraparticle’, described in Nature on 8 January1, is not the first to be suggested, but the detailed mathematical model characterizing it could lead to experiments in which it is created using … Read more

New Math Suggests ‘Impossible’ Third Type of Particle Could Exist

Quantum mechanics has long classified particles into just two distinct types: fermions and  bosons. Now physicists from Rice University in the US have found a third type might be possible after all, at least mathematically speaking. Known as a paraparticles, their behavior could imply the existence of elementary particles nobody has ever considered. https://www.sciencealert.com/new-math-suggests-impossible-third-type-of-particle-could-exist
