Caution and skepticism win again

On Nanoscale views, Doug Natelson has an excellent post Exotic (quasi)particles, and why experimental physics is challenging.
He points out recent theoretical work showing that a zero-bias peak in the I-V characteristic seen in recent experiments is not conclusive evidence for Majorana particles.

A very effective Hamiltonian in nuclear physics

Atomic nuclei are complex quantum many-body systems. Effective theories have helped provide a better understanding of them. The best-known a...
