New material also reveals new quasiparticles

Researchers have investigated a novel crystalline material that exhibits electronic properties that have never been seen before. It is a crystal of aluminum and platinum atoms arranged in a special way. This resulted in novel properties of electronic behavior for the crystal as a whole, including so-called Rarita-Schwinger fermions in its interior.
