For the first time, physicists have discovered that in an extremely high magnetic field ‘massless’ Dirac electrons can acquire a mass. A false-color high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image of the zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) with an inset selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern, showing the layer normal along the b axis. …
