Using intense x-rays generated at Berkeley University's Advanced Light Source, the team captured time - resolved images of whirlpool patterns
called magnetic vortices as they gyrated along a nanometer - wide half - ring track.
Magnetic vortices — so - called skyrmions — were predicted theoretically more than 25 years ago, but it has only been possible to observe them experimentally in magnetic materials in recen
