Gapless electronic topology driven by strong correlations is an emerging field of great interest, with heavy fermion compounds at its forefront. I will report on the giant signatures of topology observed in Ce3Bi4Pd3, the material that has coined the notion of a Weyl-Kondo semimetal [1-3], and on the genuine topology control that can be achieved by magnetic field tuning, leading to the annihilation of the material’s Weyl nodes at moderate magnetic fields [4,5]. I will also discuss design strategies for further correlation-driven topological phases, and point to new candidate materials [6,7].
