Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like textures in magnetization, characterized by a topological winding number. Nanometer-scale skyrmions have been observed at room temperature in magnetic multilayer structures. The combination of their small size, topological quantization and their efficient electric manipulation makes them interesting candidates for information carriers in high-performance memory devices. Askyrmion racetrack memory has been suggested, in which information is encoded in the distance between skyrmions moving in a one-dimensional nanostrip. Here, I propose an alternative design where skyrmions move in two (or more) parallel lanes and the information is stored in the lane number of each skyrmion. Such a multilane track can be constructed by controlling the height profile of the nanostrip. Repulsive skyrmion-skyrmion interactions in narrow nanostrips guarantee that skyrmions on different lanes cannot pass each other. Current pulses can be used to induce a lane change, and combining these elements provides a robust, efficient design for skyrmion-based storage devices.
