It also allows researchers to study how changing the size and shape of individual magnetic vortices affects their behavior.

The experiments revealed an extraordinary difference in how easily the vortices could move depending on their direction.

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, a technique capable of imaging surfaces at the atomic level, the researchers confirmed that the steps ran parallel to one another and directly observed vortices positioned along them.

All of this can be explained very well in the atomic model of the world, but only with much greater difficulty using Cartesian vortices.
