Mesoscopic superconductivity and high spin polarization coexisting at metallic point contacts on Weyl semimetal TaAs

Topological states of matter with unique transport properties hold the potential to realize unexpected phenomena. Here, Aggarwalet al. report the coexistence of a superconducting phase and a high transport spin polarization at metallic point contacts on Weyl semimetal TaAs.
