Skyrmions accelerated to 900 m/s for future memory devices

Summary: Scientists have accelerated magnetic quasiparticles called "skyrmions" to speeds of 900 m/s, crucial for future memory devices. Skyrmions, resembling tiny swirling bubbles, could revolutionize computing by storing data and performing calculations. They offer non-volatility, fast manipulation, and high density, potentially replacing electrons as bits. This advancement could lead to a new type of "universal memory" combining the best features of current computer memory components.
