In 1982, physicist [[Frank Wilczek]] published a research paper on the possibilities of possible fractional-spin particles, which he termed [[anyon]]s from their ability to take on "any" spin.<ref name="WilczekAnyons">{{cite journal

Wilczek described their spin statistics as "interpolating continuously between the usual boson and fermion cases".<ref name="WilczekAnyons"/> The effect has become the basis for understanding the [[fractional quantum Hall effect]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Laughlin |first=R.
