A skyrmion is a type of topological soliton—a stable, localized configuration of a field—found in certain magnetic materials. It is characterized by a nontrivial topology and can be thought of as a swirling configuration of spins, which are the magnetic moments of atoms. The concept of skyrmions originates from theoretical physics and was first proposed by British physicist Tony Skyrme in the 1960s, primarily in the context of particle physics.
