Experimental demonstration of skyrmion family transitions in a bilayer twisted moiré system, suggesting new applications for wave devices.
Skyrmion family members, including skyrmions, merons, and skyrmioniums, have been observed in diverse physical systems, yet their coexistence and transformation within a single controllable platform remain challenging. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a bilayer twisted moiré elastic system that enables the generation of multiple skyrmion family members with different topological charges. By constructing three-dimensional displacement vector fields, we establish a framework describing the evolution of topological invariants under twist-induced symmetry modulation, thereby governing controlled transitions and the stable coexistence of different skyrmion textures. In addition, manipulating the Lamb-wave phase introduces discontinuous transport of the topological textures, thereby revealing phason-like dynamics within the quasiperiodic structure. Together, these results provide a versatile route for controlling topological textures and open new possibilities for the design of integrated topological wave devices.
