Quantum particles that remember their path: scientists have witnessed for the first time how mysterious 'Majorana zero modes' can be swapped. This could lead to computers that don't fear errors.
🎯 Majorana particles can be their own antiparticles: when two meet, they annihilate, even though normally a particle-antiparticle pair is required.
