<p>In spiral multiferroics, the magnetic order is tied to electric polarization, offering a promising route to novel memory devices where an electric field—not a magnetic one—switches magnetic bits. However, such a switching process, in which magnetic domain walls are moved electrically, remains poorly understood. Here we find the domain walls to contain arrays of meron strings, featuring zero- and one-dimensional topological defects that profoundly influence switching dynamics. Minimum energy walls host merons with alternating skyrmion charges and move as relativistic massive particles, with velocity limited by the magnon speed. At the ordering transition, walls with non-alternating meron charges appear, giving rise to defect lines within the domain wall. They result in a peculiar nonlocal dynamics where all the spins in the system rotate, and the wall mobility is suppressed. Meron strings also possess zero-dimensional hedgehog defects—analogous to Bloch points—that pin the wall to the lattice, increasing the coercive electric field. The results offer an interpretation of recent experiments and position spiral multiferroics as a new playground for electric manipulation of spins.</p>
