Twisted 2D magnet creates skyrmions for ultra dense data storage

As the world generates more data than ever, scientists are searching for ways to store that information in smaller and more efficient formats. "As data volumes continue to grow, future magnetic storage media must be able to store information reliably at ever higher densities," says Professor Jörg Wrachtrup, Head of the Center for Applied Quantum Technologies (ZAQuant) at the University of Stuttgart, whose team led the study. "Our results are therefore directly relevant for next-gen...
