      abstract     = {Skyrmions are vortex-like spin textures that form strings
                      in magnetic crystals. Due to the analogy to elastic strings,
                      skyrmion strings are naturally expected to braid and form
                      complex three-dimensional patterns, but this phenomenon has
                      not been explored yet. We found that skyrmion strings can
                      form braids in cubic crystals of chiral magnets. This
                      finding is confirmed by direct observations of skyrmion
                      braids in B20-type FeGe using transmission electron
                      microscopy. The theoretical analysis predicts that the
                      discovered phenomenon is general for a wide family of chiral
                      magnets. These findings have important implications for
                      skyrmionics and propose a solid-state framework for
                      applications of the mathematical theory of braids.},
