Scientists observed semi-Dirac fermion for the first time, and scientists from Pennsylvania State University and Columbia University joined hands to observe a special kind of quasi-particle-semi-Dirac fermion for the first time. Such quasi-particles have mass when moving in one direction, but lose mass when moving in the other direction. The researchers said that in-depth research on these quasi-particles is expected to promote the development of next-generation batteries, sensors and other technologies.
