The Drift - What is a Majorana particle?

What is a Majorana particle? Are neutrinos Majorana particles? Vincente Guiseppe breaks down the science behind these tricky particles.

Vincente Guiseppe is a research scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and co-spokesperson of the Majorana Collaboration.

Who else is here after Microsoft’s new quantum chip ?

Are photons their own antiparticle? Are they considered to be Majorana particles?

[Hal_McKinney]

Is it possible that the 2 neutrinos are of such low energies that they are there but not detectable (with current technologies)?

[mequavis]

Majorana neutrinos can only form in the rulian curved space in the sub topology of a black hole. positive of this. its used in the interior for antimatter and matter exchange as a buffer matter as majorana particles create dark matter, aka virtual matter

This isn't a physics-related question, but I'm still curious. Perhaps others might know the answer. --

Why is the 'j' in Ettore's Italian name prounounced like an English 'y' (or a German or Czech 'j')?

Is the letter 'j', not a standard letter in Italian orthography, usually pronounced with a 'y' sound?

I guess I would have expected it to be pronounced like a soft Italian 'g' instead.
