Novel way to manipulate skyrmions could open the door to better memory and sensing devices in next-gen electronics
Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, Tiangong University in China, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported an innovative method that advances the understanding of spin dynamics in textured magnets and could facilitate the development of spintronic technologies based on frustrated magnetic systems.
