A long-sought particle with no mass proposed more than 85 years ago has finally been created in the lab.
The mysterious particle, called a Weyl fermion, emerged from a crystal of a material called a semi-metal. By bombarding the crystal with photons, the teamproduced a stream of electrons that collectively behaved like the elusive subatomic particles.
