Scientists observe “quasiparticles” in classical systems for the first time - EurekAlert

Quasiparticles – long-lived particle-like excitations – are a cornerstone of quantum physics, with famous examples such as Cooper pairs in superconductivity and, recently, Dirac quasiparticles in graphene. Now, IBS CSLM researchers have discovered quasipartic…
