In the new van der Waals Kondo-lattice ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{GeTe}}_{2}$, itinerant ferromagnetism and heavy fermionic behavior coexist. Both the key properties of such a system, namely, a spin-polarized Fermi surface and a low Fermi momentum, are expected to significantly alter Andreev-reflection-dominated transport at a contact with a superconducting electrode and display unconventional …
