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:
“The ellipse is as aimless as that,
Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
In our present. Its flexing is its account,
Return to the point of no return.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
