Topological water-wave structures manipulating particles

Nature, Published online: 05 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08384-yInterfering water waves can be tailored to realize topological structures, namely wave vortices, skyrmions and polarization Möbius strips, that can be used to manipulate particles floating on the water surface.
