It's called the Weyl fermion. Originally proposed by mathematician Hermann Weyl in 1929, these fermions are thought to be the building blocks of other subatomic particles.
Right now, electricity is carried by streams of electrons -but Weyl fermions could provide a much more stable and efficient way of doing the same thing.
One interesting quirk of their physics is that they can behave as a composite of matter and antimatter inside a crystal
"The physics of the Weyl fermion are so strange, there could be many things that arise from this particle that we're just not capable of imagining now."
