Negative Effective Mass
from Physics Frontiers · host Jim Rantschler
Randy tells Jim about experiments with Neutrons and Photons in materials that exhibit negative effective mass. Not only do these effects show that the inertial mass of quasiparticles in a material can become negative, they show that these negative mass quasiparticles act like they have negative gravitational mass, as well.Show Notes: http://frontiers.physicsfm.com/39
