Physicists have uncovered a new quantum phenomenon, proving for the first time that electrons can form vortex-like structures ...

Weyl semimetals are characterized by their electronic structure, where conduction and valence bands touch at points called Weyl nodes. These nodes occur in pairs with opposite chirality, leading to ...

Quantum sensors can be used to reveal a surprising new mechanism for converting light into electricity in Weyl semimetals, Boston College Assistant Professor of Physics Brian Zhou and colleagues ...

Topological materials can be categorized into several types, including topological insulators, topological superconductors, and topological semimetals. Each type exhibits unique electronic properties ...
