A team of physicists from the United States and Japan has experimentally observed a phenomenon called quantum oscillation in a two-dimensional topological insulator — monolayer tungsten ditelluride (WTe2). The teams findings, published in the journal Nature, hint at the existence of an entirely new type of quantum particle — a neutral fermion.
