Experiments and theoretical analysis show that under extreme magnetic fields, electrons in zirconium pentatelluride behave in an unusual way that points to a topological origin rather than interactions among many particles. Under magnetic fields strong enough to push electrons toward their quantum limits, zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) did something conventional theory says should not happen. Its [...]
