Skyrmions are topologically nontrivial spin textures which could be used as energy efficient carriers of information in future memory devices, but first reliable and efficient control of their movement is required. Here, the authors demonstrate a method to control the movement of individual skyrmions by making use of the magnetic interaction between a sample and a magnetic force microscopy probe.
