Artist’s impression of magnetic whirls

Artist’s impression of magnetic whirls, such as merons and antimerons, generated in a free-standing and flexible membrane of hematite on a silicon wafer.

They can remain stable even in the absence of electrical impulses.

The team is now developing prototype devices to exploit the dynamics of these super-fast whirls.
