Hermann Weyl had predicted the existence of a massless fermion with a definite handedness, or “chirality,” in 1929. Physicists never found a fundamental particle with these characteristics, but a condensed-matter analog of the Weyl fermion is ultimately discovered in tantalum arsenide.

What is Weyl fermion:

And what Weyl fermion can be used for:
