Findings

Wormholes can exist in a type-III Weyl phase.

Co$_3$In$_2$X$_2$ compounds are identified as suitable type-III Weyl semimetals.

Proposed experiments to confirm the type-III Weyl phase.

Abstract

The observation of wormholes has proven to be difficult in the field of astrophysics. However, with the discovery of novel topological quantum materials it is possible to observe astrophysical and particle physics effects in condensed matter physics. It is proposed in this work that wormholes can exist in a type-III Weyl phase. In addition, these wormholes are topologically protected, making them feasible to create and measure in condensed matter systems. Finally, Co$_3$In$_2$X$_2$ (X = S, Se) are identified as ideal type-III Weyl semimetals and experiments are put forward to confirm the existence of a type-III Weyl phase.
