Optical skyrmions can control the motion of magnetic skyrmions
Researchers at Waseda University are investigating whether the topology of light, specifically optical skyrmions, can be used to control the motion of magnetic skyrmions. This study aims to bridge the gap between photonics and magnetism for potential applications in low-power memory and logic circuits.
