Microsoft claims to have created Majorana particles, which could lead to more stable qubits for quantum computing. However, many physicists are skeptical of the results, citing insufficient evidence and lack of reproducible data. To build confidence, Microsoft needs to release more experimental data and collaborate with independent researchers. Long-term, fostering an open scientific environment where discoveries are validated through transparent research could help address these doubts.
