Axion particle spotted in solid-state crystal
The team found signatures of axion particles composed of Weyl-type electrons (Weyl fermions) in the correlated Weyl semimetal (TaSe₄)₂I. At... [mehr]
The best of two worlds: Magnetism and Weyl semimetals
These materials – magnetic Weyl semi-metals – are innately quantum but bridge the two worlds of topology and spintronics. Topological... [mehr]
