Graphene, a one - atom - thick carbon sheet, has taken the world of physics by storm — in part, because its electrons behave as massless particles.

In the early 20th century quantum physics emerged, with its seemingly counterintuitive and sometimes controversial science, including the notions of superposition (the theory that a particle can be located in several places at once) and entanglement (particles that are deeply linked behave as such despite physical distance from one another).

According to quantum theory, particles such as electrons may also behave as waves.

Rather than individually tracking the motions of each electron within a material, scientists think of the disturbance as its own particle, simplifying the math that explains how the material behaves.

Because diffraction is a property of a wave, this test indicated that particles — electrons in this case — could also behave as waves.

The subsequent disruption had a dramatic effect on mass-less «Dirac» electrons that are present within the material and behave as relativistic particles.
