So, ‘special interaction’ and, lo and behold, Dark Matter.

Fascinating!
But the guy was like Judge Crater!

Okay, these things are supposed to exist on the edge between matter and antimatter. One of the big problems with antimatter, in the development of antimatter propulsion, say, is that it’s hard to contain the stuff. I wonder... might it be possible, in principle, to build antimatter containers out of Majorana fermions?

Kouwenhovens team hopes to use a scheme called topological quantum computation that could evade decoherence at the hardware level by storing quantum information non-locally,I'm down for that. What he said.
It continues to amaze me that the human race can produce this kind of genius, and btw reach for the stars too, all while gibbering idiots like Obama and the moslem brotherhood keep sinking their moldy green teeth into humanity's heels.
Go figure.

In 1938 one of the world's greatest scientists withdrew all his money and disappeared during a boat trip from Palermo to Naples. Whether he killed himself, was murdered or lived on under a different identity is still not known. But no trace of The Italian physicist Ettore Majorana has ever been found. A top physicist on the eve of WW2 disappears. My guess is he disappeared into the German nuclear research program, or was planning to defect to the US, got caught, and was made to disappear.
The German nuclear energy project started in 1939.

Electrons enter the nanowire from the Gold contact, and meet the Majorana fermion on the way. If the electron has the wrong energy, it is reflected back into the contact. If it has the right energy, it can go through the Majorana fermion via a special interaction. So two Electrons walk into a bar, and Majorana Fermion checks them out....

“Storing quantum information non-locally” - I guess we’ll be back to using floppy discs.

Kouwenhovens team hopes to use a scheme called topological quantum computation that could evade decoherence at the hardware level by storing quantum information non-locally, which could lead to a Nobel Prize for Kouwenhoven and total domination of the future of quantum computing by Microsoft. Such that Windows will crash before you boot up.

I've now looked at several reports on Majorana fermions
and still do not understand.
I'd like to get out the pancake bunny,
but I suspect I'm just too stupid to grok the subject.

plug that sucker inyt your electric meter hole and you’d have free power forever.......or something!
