> It is thought the existence of fermions could be used to help bring about
Uh, this probably could have been worded more clearly. Presumably they meant the existence of that specific type of fermion?
Also, I got the impression that this is a quasiparticle, not like a proton or electron. If I'm correct about that, I think the article should have made it more clear?
Yep, it's a very badly written article.
It´s a quasiparticle that lives only in some types of superconductors, i.e. it´s a weird configuration of the electrons in the superconductor.
