Skyrmions move at record speeds: A step towards the computing of the future

"skyrmion magnetic nanobubbles can be moved by electrical currents, at up to 900 m/s... tiny size provides great computing, information storage capacity, low energy consumption... Until now, these nanobubbles moved no faster than 100 m/s, which is too slow for computing applications. However, thanks to the use of an antiferromagnetic material as medium, the scientists successfully had the skyrmions move 10 times faster than previously observed... higher-performance and less energy-intensive computing devices"
