The Strange Quantum Particles Carrying a Fraction of an Electron

Scientists have confirmed quasiparticles carrying just one-quarter of an electron’s charge in a remarkable quantum state.

Using extreme temperatures, powerful magnetic fields, and shot-noise measurements, researchers found evidence that could deepen our understanding of exotic quantum matter—and potentially open new paths toward fault-tolerant topological quantum computers.
