For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the quasiparticle opens the door to future advances in a range of emerging technologies from batteries to sensors, according to researchers at Penn State.
I’m not sure what it would be used for but this is a brand new compound into humanities toolbox that advances physics at the same time. Unexplained phenomena that is also confirming a particle theorised 16y ago. Give Nobel please.
An uneducated hypothesis: have a bunch if these particles move back and forth in unison => directional force using only energy => space travel with infinite fuel
Finally some quality content.

This is how we get to warp drive… Make it so number 1.
We might be able to make a warp drive within the crystal structure. 🫠

Only caveat is that we have to change everyone into fermions temporarily lol
Just a minor scientific hurdle, I’m sure they’ll figure it out in the upcoming weeks.
I like quality content, even if I can’t understand sometimes
