First Microscopic Look at A Tiny Phenomenon with Big Potential Implications (3 of 3)

Caption

Researchers speculate that the magnetic skyrmion lattice moves the same direction with the applied electric current direction. Near the sample edge, the plastic deformation of the magnetic-skyrmion lattice takes place, resulting in the counter-rotating behavior of the magnetic skyrmion reflections.
