A Weyl semimetal formally requires either broken time reversal symmetry or inversion symmetry. One class of Weyl semimetals-the crystal family of NdAlSi-exhibits both. Here, Li et al perform angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on NdAlSi, and observe the formation of an additional Weyl fermion as the material becomes ferrimagnetic.
