At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a group of scientists has used neutron scattering techniques to investigate a relatively new functional material called a Weyl semimetal. This crystalline ...

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 ...

that reported on the group's findings. The experiment described in the paper focused on a specific type of Weyl semimetal, a tantalum phosphide (TaP) crystal. Materials can be classified by their ...
