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.

What is so amazing about the degeneracy pressure for Fermi liquids?

 I just finished preparing my undergraduate lecture on ideal Fermi gases at zero temperature. Here are my slides.  (Note. The derivations ar...
