Recent paper is making a buzz for having found evidence of semi-Dirac fermions in ZrSiS:
These fermions have a linear dispersion relation in one direction but quadratic in the other two (thus some news articles saying that it has mass only along some axes). Of course now the speculation is if one can do the same in 2D materials and find some applications. Anybody here has any insight on previous theories about semi-Dirac fermions? I leave this thread open for discussion of the paper.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
