If you're pissed at the thought of a bunch of EEs winning the physics Nobel
prize, you can take heart in the theory of British experimentalist Humphrey
Maris. He thinks interstitial electrons in liquid He, excited by IR radiation
from a carbon dioxide laser, can fission into two sub-electronic particles.
He calls them electrinos. If he's correct, it'll bust quantum mechanics as we
know it wide open and surely lead to a future Nobel prize. Read all about it at
