Ettore Majorana

Ettore Majorana was an Italian physicist, born in 1906, known for his significant contributions to theoretical physics, particularly in quantum mechanics and particle physics. He proposed the existence of Majorana particles, which are unique as they are their own antiparticles. Majorana's life was marked by a mysterious disappearance in 1938, leading to speculation about his fate. His work laid foundational concepts in modern physics, influencing areas like neutrino research and quantum theory. Despite his limited publications, his ideas continue to resonate in contemporary scientific discussions. Majorana is remembered as a brilliant mind whose legacy endures in physics.
