With Dirac-Weyl semimetals, electrons behave as if they have zero mass. A fundamental result of quantum field theory is that all zero-mass particles must segregate into equal left- and right-handed populations. However, these populations mix in the presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields. Why this effect, known as the chiral anomaly,...
