Story summary

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz developed three-dimensional skyrmion tubes, advancing spintronics for data storage.
The study, published in Nature Communications, reports a non-reciprocal skyrmion Hall effect, with dynamics unlike two-dimensional (2D) skyrmions.
The hybrid tubes enable efficient data encoding for brain-inspired computing, signaling potential for quantum computing, with commercialization requiring interdisciplinary research and scalable manufacturing.
