Topologically stable magnetic screw‐like nanostructures called skyrmions were designed by using the concept of topology and the guidance of theory. These particles in real space are found in non‐centrosymmetric compounds such as MnSi. Skyrmions might have an enormous impact in the context of future spintronics applications.
