The researchers focused on a type of skyrmion called the Néel skyrmion, which exists
in ultrathin films deposited on metals with a strong DMI.

The technique could also be used to clean surfaces without harsh solvents, and could be adapted to peel
films used
in ultrathin electronic devices, such as solar panels, flexible screens or wearable sensors.
ULTRATHIN FILMS Computer simulations reveal the properties of a little - studied group of synthetic materials: 2 - D arrays of metal atoms arranged
in honeycombs (illustrated), triangles or squares.
However, although the
ultrathin films and rubber sheets used
in these devices adhere and conform well to the skin, their lack of breathability is deemed unsafe for long - term use: dermatological tests show the fine, stretchable materials prevent sweating and block airflow around the skin, causing irritation and inflammation, which ultimately could lead to lasting physiological and psychological effects.
Now, researchers at Tokyo Tech have reported superconductivity
in two kinds of higher titanium oxides prepared
in the form of
ultrathin films.
