Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin-whirls currently considered as promising for use in ultra-dense memory devices. Towards achieving this goal, exploration of the skyrmion phase response and under external stimuli is urgently required. Here we show experimentally, and explain theoretically, that in the magnetoelectric insulator Cu<sub>2</sub>OSeO<sub>3</sub> the skyrmion phase can expand and shrink significantly depending on the polarity of a moderate applied electric field (few ...[more]
