Semi-Dirac Fermions Found in ZrSiS: Quasiparticles with Directional Mass Behavior
Researchers at Penn State and Columbia University identified semi-Dirac fermions, quasiparticles theorized 16 years ago, in ZrSiS crystals. These particles are massless in one direction but have mass in another. The findings, published in Physical Review X, were made using magneto-optical spectroscopy at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory....

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Fourth Planet in Kepler-51 System
A study published in The Astronomical Journal reveals the discovery of Kepler-51e, the fourth planet in the Kepler-51 system, led by Dr Jessica Libby-Roberts of Penn State and Dr Kento Masuda of Osaka University. Observations indicated that only a four-planet model could explain the transit timing variations. Kepler-51e’s orbit, just inside the s...
