Did Mourik et al. really find Majorana Fermions?

"This essay is focused around the idea of unpaired Majorana Fermions in quantum wires as proposed by Kitaev in 2001 [1], and experimental signatures of Majorana Fermions in Hybrid Superconductor-Semiconductor Nanowire Devices discovered by Mourik et al. in 2012 [2]. After a brief motivation, the theoretical background of Kitaev’s toy model is presented, afterwards the findings of Mourik et al. will be discussed. Finally, an outlook is given on the future of Majorana Fermions."
