The particles are "semi-Dirac fermions":
Not exactly sure what a "semi-Dirac fermion" is, but it seems like another case of electrons doing weird sh*t at low temperatures.
The best part is knowing how, once we figure out what the hell is going on below the level we're seeing, the explanation's going to be even fucking weirder than what we're seeing. If it made sense we'd have got it by now.
