The spin Hall effect (SHE) is the conversion of charge current to spin current, and non-magnetic metals with large SHEs are extremely sought after for spintronic applications, but their rarity has stifled widespread use.
Read MoreHere we report the observation of a ludicrously large positive magnetoresistance (LMR) in the simple, non-magnetic, semi-metallic layered transition metal dichalcogenide, WTe2.
Read MoreAntiferromagnetically doped topological insulators (A-TI) are among the candidates to host dynamical axion fields and axion-polaritons; weakly interacting quasiparticles that are analogous to the dark axion, a long sought after candidate dark matter particle.

Tungsten ditelluride (WTe2) is emerging in interest due to its titanic unsaturated magnetoresistance and two dimensional atomic structures. Here we report the first successful observation of pressure-induced superconductivity in WTe2.
