Bose Statistics: How a 1924 Paper Changed Counting

In 1924 a physicist in Dhaka rederived Planck's radiation law by counting light quanta in a new way. Einstein translated the paper, extended it to atoms, and predicted a new...

Fermions vs Bosons: What Is the Difference?

Every particle in nature is either a fermion or a boson. Fermions, like electrons and quarks, have half-integer spin and obey the Pauli exclusion principle. Bosons, like photons, have integer...
