A fresh twist in chiral topology

Electrons in ''chiral crystals'', solid-state materials with definite ''handedness'', can behave in unexpected ways. An interdisciplinary team has realized now a theoretically predicted peculiar electronic state in a chiral compound, PtGa, from the class of topological materials. The study allows a fundamental understanding of the electronic properties of this novel semimetal.
