The term Fermi point has two applications but refers to the same phenomena (special relativity):
- Fermi point (Quantum Field Theory)
- Fermi point (Nanotechnology)
For both applications count that the symmetry between particles and anti-particles in weak interactions is violated:
At this point the particle energy E = cp is zero.
In nanotechnology this concept can be applied to electron behavior. An electron when as single particle is a Fermion obeying the Pauli exclusion principle.

Famous quotes containing the word point:
“An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.”
—Iain Sinclair (b. 1943)
