Scientists observe a new type of topological defect in chiral magnets for the first time

Jul 09, 2021 (Nanowerk News) "Topological defects" are formed when the symmetry of a magnetic material is disrupted. Domain walls (DWs) are a type of topological defect that separates regions of different magnetic orientations. A widely studied phenomenon, the manipulation of these defects has potential applications in high-performance memory storage...
