Researchers at Princeton have observed the Weyl fermion, a massless particle first theorized 85 years ago. Here's how the discovery could change the way we make electronics.

"One of the biggest finds is that, using Weyl fermions, the researchers will be able to create fast-moving electrons with no risk of backscattering, or loss of electrons in a collision. Backscattering makes electronics less efficient and creates heat. Weyl electrons are able to avoid collisions and eliminate backscattering."
