But Moon Nukers Seem To Be the Kind That Can Make Sense of This

The “Demon Particle”: Have Scientists Discovered the Impossible? – Study
Jerusalem Post | 8/13/23

Physicists have discovered a transparent, massless, and neutral “demon” particle that could help scientists understand superconductors better, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The study, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, focused on the search for a particle first theorized by physicist David Pines in 1956.

In solids, electrons act erratically, combining into collective units. If enough energy is input, the electrons can form plasmons – waves that act somewhat like a particle (also known as a quasiparticle) – if enough energy is input, although usually, the mass of solids is too large for plasmons (units of plasma, also theorized by Pines along with David Bohm in 1952) to form at room temperature.

I just like saying “Demon particle” and “plasmon.” Impresses topless hotties in bars.
