Colloquium : Majorana fermions in nuclear, particle, and solid-state physics

In nature one can associate to each particle an antiparticle with equal mass and opposite charge: to the electron there is the positron, to the proton there is an anti-proton, etc. Majorana fermions are particles with an identity crisis: they are their own antiparticles and hence they self-annihilat...
