CREDIT University of Warwick Abstract: University of Warwick physicists set out to find Skyrmions, only to find near-identical object with distinctive qualities that they have named an incommensurate spin crystal Scientists looked for the signs of the magnetic spin texture in ultra-thin materials only a few atoms thick
