As a new class of topological quantum states, Weyl semimetals have attracted exten- sive interest. Taking the pyrochlore iridates A Ir O (A=Y or rare earth element) as an example, we 2 2 7 discuss the novel properties of Weyl semimetals. Their Weyl nodes are robust, they have special surface states in the form of Fermi arcs, the anomalous Hall effect is proportional to the separation between the Weyl nodes, and they have novel transport properties. We also discuss some materials predicted to be Weyl semimetals, and recent experimental progress. Keywords Weyl semimetal, Fermi arc, Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly, 5d transition metal oxides
