OH LOOK, I CAN SEE THOSE WEIRD TRANSPARENT WORMS IN MY VISION AGAIN
CAN YOU SEE IT???
WHY YOU RUN AWAY WHEN I TRY TO LOOK AT YOU
WHHYYYY
If you experienced the same thing, you're in luck! You're 4% of the human population with evolved eye and brain with extra capabilities. Your eyes are able to perceive a new particle known as "type-II Weyl fermion".It was detected by the world’s favourite particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. And what is more suprising - it defy a lot of universal rules.
The type-II Weyl fermion was predicted when researchers noticed that a metallic crystal material known as tungsten ditelluride was behaving in a strange way. Most metals become insulators when subjected to a magnetic field, while metallic crystals that contain Weyl fermions become super-efficient conductors instead. But the tungsten ditelluride did something else entirely – it becomes either an insulator or a near perfect conductor, depending on the direction of the magnetic field.

Actually, I lied.
