“The photon, a boson, has a fermion partner called the photino.”

“For instance, the proposed superpartner of the electron, a fermion, is called the selectron, and would be a boson.”

“The particular superness of the symmetry which it proposes is that every known fermion is partnered with one or more hypothetical bosons, and every known boson with one or more fermions.”

“What happens next in these so-called quantum-degenerate gases depends on whether the atoms are bosons or fermions.”

“They have bosons and fermions, for example, and gauge theories that are similar to those in the Standard Model.”

“One point which Wen is particularly excited about is that fermions can appear as quasiparticles in local bosonic lattice systems.”
