A skyrmion is a pointlike region of reversed magnetization in a uniform magnet. The skyrmion's“core”—here, pointed up—is surrounded by an axially symmetric twist that returns the spin texture to the background direction (down).

Summary:

Scientists have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally.

Why interesting

People jave claimed witnessing Ball lightening and claims discarded fot last 40 years.

could lead to finding a solution to keep plasma together efficiently and enable more stable fusion reactors than we have now.
