TL;DR: This study revealed that skyrmions vanish by a coalescence, forming elongated structures, and numerical simulations showed that changes of topology are controlled by singular magnetic point defects.

TL;DR: A long-wavelength helimagnetic superstructure in bulk samples of the ferrimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3 is reported, providing putative evidence for effective spin currents as the origin of enhancements of the magnetodielectric response instead of atomic displacements considered so far.

TL;DR: It is observed that the lifetime τ of the skyrmions depends exponentially on temperature, τ~τ0 exp(ΔEkBT), and the prefactor τ0 of this Arrhenius law changes by more than 30 orders of magnitude for small changes of the magnetic field, reflecting a substantial reduction of the lifetime of skyrnions by entropic effects and, thus, an extreme case of enthalpy-entropy compensation.

TL;DR: In this article, a new skyrmion phase was identified in the chiral magnetic material Cu2OSeO3 at low temperature and in the presence of an applied magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this article, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the cubic chiral magnet MnSi stabilizes a magnetic helix -a periodic one-dimensional modulation of the magnetization.
