Scope

This workshop will explore the emerging applications of topological textures such as skyrmions, vortices, and domain walls. Covering systems ranging from magnetism and ferroelectrics to photonics and acoustics, it will address their stability, dynamics, and potential for nanotechnology, including computing and sensing. Bringing together established experts and emerging leaders, the workshop will showcase recent advances across these fields and their applications.

Scope
