Not yet tangible, but close
Numerical modeling results in a fraction-signature with typical pinch points (left) and should be observable experimentally with neutron scattering. Allowing quantum fluctuations blurs this signature (right), even at T=0 K.…
New skyrmion transistors propel quantum and AI research
Operation of a skyrmion transistor. a) Skyrmion transistor device geometry. The blue dashed box is a skyrmion channel. The red dashed box acts as a skyrmion generator and the green…
