Topological semimetals can exhibit gapless Fermi arc surface states and unusual transport properties. I will discuss new aspects of the bulk-edge correspondence that elucidate the topological nature of Dirac fermions. I will then present the classification of nodal fermions in both magnetic and non-magnetic space groups. Finally, I will present an outlook for finding material realizations.
