  While chiral magnets, metal-based magnetic multilayers, or Heusler compounds
have been considered as the material workhorses in the field of skyrmionics,
oxides are now emerging as promising alternatives, as they host special
correlations between the spin-orbital-charge-lattice degrees of freedom and/or
coupled ferroic order parameters. These interactions open new possibilities for
practically exploiting skyrmionics. In this article, we review the recent
advances in the observation and control of topological spin textures in various
oxide systems. We start with the discovery of skyrmions and related
quasiparticles in bulk and heterostructure ferromagnetic oxides. Next, we
emphasize the shortcomings of implementing ferromagnetic textures, which have
led to the recent explorations of ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic oxide
counterparts, with higher Curie temperatures, stray-field immunity, low Gilbert
damping, ultrafast magnetic dynamics, and/or absence of skyrmion deflection.
Then, we highlight the development of novel pathways to control the stability,
motion, and detection of topological textures using electric fields and
currents. Finally, we present the outstanding challenges that need to be
overcome to achieve all-electrical, nonvolatile, low-power oxide skyrmionic
devices.
