# phys: stable vortex loops intersected by point singularities (in magnets)

<< Vortex rings are remarkably stable structures that occur in a large variety of systems (..) Although vortex rings have also been predicted to exist in ferromagnets, they have not yet been observed. >>

AA << imaged three-dimensional structures forming closed vortex loops in a bulk micromagnet. The cross-section of these loops consists of a vortex–antivortex pair and, on the basis of magnetic vorticity (they) identify these configurations as magnetic vortex rings. >>

<< In addition, (they) observe stable vortex loops intersected by point singularities at which the magnetization within the vortex and antivortex cores reverses. >>
