Study Shows Quasiparticles are Capable of Rebirth after Decaying

Decay is unyielding in the macroscopic realm: shattered objects cannot put themselves back together again. However, other laws are effective in the quantum realm: new study reveals that so-called quasiparticles can decay and reorganize themselves again and are therefore almost immortal.
