Description:
Article Spin textures, such as skyrmions, could be useful in future low-power-consumption memory devices, but they are usually only seen in materials with a strong spin-orbit interaction. Phark et al. now, however, observe such non-collinear magnetic order in nanometre-scale bilayer iron islands. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms6183 Authors: S. -H. Phark, J. A. Fischer, M.
