 Electron pairs behave like bosons (July 2002) - News - PhysicsWeb
Peter Samuelsson and Markus Büttiker of the University of Geneva in Switzerland propose an update of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment that would probe the pairs of electrons found in many superconductors.
In their 1950s experiment, Robert Hanbury Brown and Richard Twiss confirmed this prediction when they sent a beam of photons – which are bosons – through a beam splitter and measured the intensity of the two resulting beams.
They found that the intensities of these beams were ‘positively correlated’ – that is, the peaks in the signals coincided, showing that photons can indeed bunch together.

Performance of both the piloted Derwent version and the rocket launched models provided data which was rolled in the a subsequent development, the fabulous Fairey FD.2.
