      abstract     = {Magnetic skyrmions are topological solitons with a
                      nanoscale winding spin texture that hold promise for
                      spintronics applications1,2,3,4. Skyrmions have so far been
                      observed in a variety of magnets that exhibit nearly
                      parallel alignment for neighbouring spins, but theoretically
                      skyrmions with anti-parallel neighbouring spins are also
                      possible. Such antiferromagnetic skyrmions may allow more
                      flexible control than conventional ferromagnetic
                      skyrmions5,6,7,8,9,10. Here, by combining neutron scattering
                      measurements and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that a
                      fractional antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattice is stabilized
                      in MnSc2S4 through anisotropic couplings. The observed
                      lattice is composed of three antiferromagnetically coupled
                      sublattices, and each sublattice is a triangular skyrmion
                      lattice that is fractionalized into two parts with an
                      incipient meron (half-skyrmion) character11,12. Our work
                      demonstrates that the theoretically proposed
                      antiferromagnetic skyrmions can be stabilized in real
                      materials and represents an important step towards their
                      implementation in spintronic devices.},
