Ettore Majorana (/maɪəˈrɑːnə/,[1] Italian: [ˈɛttore majoˈraːna]; born 5 August 1906 and disappeared 1938) was an Italian theoretical physicist who worked on neutrino masses. Majorana was a supporter of Italian Fascism and a member of the National Fascist Party.[2][3] On 25 March 1938, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances after purchasing a ticket to travel by ship from Naples to Palermo.
The Majorana equation, Majorana fermions, and Microsoft's device attempting to create topological qubits, Majorana 1, are named after him. In 2006, the Majorana Prize was established in his memory.
