Skyrmion on the move
On the move: Diagram showing the spin structure of a skyrmion (upper left). Also shown is the translational motion (Δx) of the skyrmion caused by the current pulse (lower left). The transverse motion (Δy) of the skyrmion is also shown. (Courtesy: Licong Pen et al/Nature Communications)
Researchers have used electrical currents to manipulate the motions of single skyrmions at room temp
