For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the quasiparticle opens the door to future advances in a range of emerging technologies from batteries to sensors, according to researchers at Penn State.
if particles only have mass during certain conditions… could particles be used to compute?
We’re talking… 3034 kinda tech here, but, hear me out.
Gravity Vents/ Inertial Damening come to mind. Having momentum moving in one direction but not when reversing would mean infinite acceleration.
The computer you’re using is made out of particles. You have to be more specific.
Hell, if it’s a newer device it’s a series of switches operating on nearly-single electrons already, as well.
…Holy shit
Is it, dangerous to hold this sort of power?
