In the quest for post-CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technologies, driven by the need for improved efficiency and performance, topologically protected ferromagnetic ‘whirls’ such as skyrmions 1 – 8 and their anti-particles have shown great promise as solitonic information carriers in...
