Scientists at Florida State University have created a new crystalline material with complex swirling magnetic patterns called skyrmion-like spin textures, achieved by combining similar compounds with different crystal symmetries, which could advance data storage and quantum computing technologies.
Physicists have observed the quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in superfluid lithium gases, revealing exotic crescent-shaped vortices called eccentric fractional skyrmions, which resemble patterns in Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and could impact future quantum technologies and our understanding of topological phenomena.
An international research team has found that magnetic nanobubbles called skyrmions can be moved by electrical currents at record speeds of up to 900 m/s, thanks to the use of an antiferromagnetic material as a medium. This discovery opens up new possibilities for developing higher-performance and less energy-intensive computing devices, as skyrmions are anticipated to be future bits in computer memory, offering enhanced avenues for information processing in electronic devices.
Researchers have discovered co-existing magnetic skyrmions and antiskyrmions of arbitrary topological charge at room temperature in magnetic Co/Ni multilayer thin films, opening up new possibilities for skyrmionics research. These spin objects, resembling tornado-like whirls in magnetic materials, offer potential applications in information storage devices and unconventional computing. The study, published in Nature Physics, also demonstrates the efficient control of the motion of these spin objects, providing insights for the development of skyrmionic devices.
Researchers have made a discovery in the behavior of dynamic magnetic fractal networks, known as skyrmions, which could advance neuromorphic computing capabilities. These skyrmions create magnetic spin waves with a narrow wavelength, forming an unexpected fractal structure. The researchers aim to use this discovery to develop a miniaturized, spin wave neuromorphic architecture. The findings were made through neutron scattering experiments and could have implications for future applications.
