Physicists simulate for the first time charged Majorana particles -- elementary particles, which are not supposed to exist. They developed a photonic set-up that consists of complex waveguide circuits engraved in a glass chip, which enabled them to simulate charged Majorana particles and, thus, allowed them to conduct physical experiments.
