Researchers successfully demonstrated a method to switch a novel material between two different nonvolatile states at very high speeds and with great accuracy. The physical constituents of the device ...

Weyl semimetals. Courtesy: Haim Beidenkopf, the Weizmann Institute of Science Topological materials can be insulating in the bulk but can conduct electricity extremely well on their edge via special, ...

A detector image (top) signals the existence of Weyl fermions. The plus and minus signs note whether the particle's spin is in the same direction as its motion -- which is known as being right-handed ...
