Shaking and pushing skyrmions: Formation of a nonequilibrium phase with zero critical current

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 5, February 2026. <br/>SignificanceDefects and disorder often limit the exploration of the dynamical properties of materials. In magnets, they lead to the pinning of domain walls and other topological defects. We present an experimental and theoretical study of a lattice of …
