Exotische Partikel: Physikern ist der erste Nachweis neuartiger Quantenteilchen gelungen. Diese fraktionalen Excitonen passen in keine der beiden Hauptklassen der Elementarteilchen. #Exciton #Quantenteilchen #Teilchen #Physik

When a #negatively charged #electron is excited by #light, it leaves behind a positive hole. Because the hole and the electron are oppositely charged, they are attracted to each other and form a bond. The resulting pair, which is short lived, is known as an #exciton

Scientists find link between #photosynthesis and 'fifth state of matter' (#BoseEinsteinCondensate)

"#Photosynthetic light harvesting is taking place in a system that is at room temperature and what's more, its structure is disordered—very unlike the pristine crystallized #materials and cold temperatures that you use to make #exciton #condensates."

“A University of Chicago study found links at the atomic level between photosynthesis and #exciton #condensates—a strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material. The finding is scientifically intriguing and may suggest new ways to think about designing electronics”
