Majorana Demonstrator

The Majorana Demonstrator is an experiment aimed at discovering a mysterious type of particle called the Majorana fermion, which is theorized to be its own antiparticle. This research is important for understanding fundamental physics and could have implications for quantum computing and particle physics. Located in South Dakota, the experiment uses ultra-sensitive detectors deep underground to minimize interference from cosmic rays. By observing rare interactions in a special material, scientists hope to provide evidence for Majorana fermions, which could help explain the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance.
