Similarly, light may appear as a wave or as a particle, depending on the type of question that a scientist asks of it.

It allows particles, such as electrons or photons of light, the equivalent of an interest - free loan: they may borrow energy from empty space and use it to make mass, according to Einstein's famous equation E = mc2.

The phrase «topological materials» refers to those materials where the current carrying electrons act as if they have no mass, similar to the properties of photons, the particles that make up light.

Nevertheless, neutrinos ought to interact with the universe's mass on the largest scales: as these particles careen through the universe at near light - speed, they interact with ordinary matter and tend to smooth out variations in density.

An international team of physicists is preparing XENON100, a simple experiment with a huge ambition: to record the moment when a bit of dark matter — known as a weakly interacting massive particle, or WIMP — smacks into the nucleus of an atom of liquid xenon, triggering a flash of light and an electric charge.
