Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich and universities of Kiel and Hamburg discovered a regular lattice of stable magnetic skyrmions on a surface, opening up new possibilities for data storage. The tiny formations, made up of just 15 atoms, exist without an external magnetic field and are located on the surface.
