2D ferromagnetic materials with full spin polarization, high Curie temperature, and novel massless fermions are highly desirable for spintronics applications. In article number 2100115 , Zhifeng Liu and co‐workers demonstrate that the orthorhombic MnNBr monolayer is a needed ferromagnetic half‐metal, which not only has a high Curie temperature (910 K), but also holds a type‐II Weyl state with Lorentz symmetry broken. Remarkably, near the type‐II Weyl point, there is direction‐dependent band dispersion: the largest fermion velocities up to 6.86 × 10 5 m s −1 and quasi‐flat bands with negligible band dispersion can be found in different k directions.
