Governed by the Pauli exclusion principle, they refuse to share a quantum state—a behavior responsible for the structure of the periodic table and the solidity of matter.

In a new study published inNature Physics, scientists at the MAJORANA Collaboration have tested the stringency of charge conservation and Pauli's exclusion principles using underground detectors.

Bose–Einstein condensates are a state of matter in which all the constituent particles exist in their lowest energy level. The Pauli Exclusion Principle prevents more than one electron (an ...
