Evidence for topological type-II Weyl semimetal WTe2

Exotic transport properties of type-II Weyl semimetals have been predicted but are yet to be experimentally evidenced. Here, Li et al. report evidences of an anisotropy of negative magnetoresistance and a quantum oscillation arising from the predicted Weyl orbit in the type-II Weyl semimetal WTe2.
