The use of topological spin structures is restricted by their limited scale, thermal stability or magnetic field requirements. A high-magnetic-field-assisted growth approach overcomes these limitations, enabling the construction of millimetre-scale meron lattices. These lattices were used to demonstrate chirality transfer from topologically protected quasiparticles to electrons and then photons.
