* Title of Talk:****/“Weyl Semimetals”/***

**

**

***Abstract:*

I will describe the recently discovered new state of condensed matter, 
Weyl semimetal. Closely related Dirac semimetals will also be mentioned. 
I will describe the most basic physical properties of Weyl semimetals, 
focusing on the properties that follow from the nontrivial electronic 
structure topology, e.g. the Fermi arc edge states. Novel transport 
phenomena, such as the large negative longitudinal magnetoresistance, 
characteristic of Weyl semimetals, will be described as well.  I will 
demonstrate that these are also rooted in the nontrivial electronic 
structure topology.  Connections to particle physics, in particular the 
chiral anomaly, will be discussed.*//*
