An international team of physicists has “stumbled upon” an entirely new material, which they have called "Weyl-Kondo semimetal”.
The “semimetal” belongs to a category of substances known as “quantum materials”.
Quantum materials have various quirky properties, some of which could contribute to future technological innovations like quantum computing – regarded by many as the next revolution in computer technology.
For the time being, however, researchers working on quantum materials are trying to understand how they work and how more useful ones can be produced.
“The word quantum in quantum materials means they have properties that cannot be described by classical physics – we have to invoke quantum physics,” said Dr Amalia Coldea, a quantum materials researcher at the University of Oxford who was not involved in this new study.

Just when we thought it'd all been done, we go and defy our own periodic table! Congratulations to humanity!
