Control over their chirality is proposed as an additional feature for encoding data bits or as qubits in quantum computing due to their high efficiency and stability against achiral magnetic textures. Here it is shown that an in\u2010plane magnetic field can be utilized to reshape the energy barriers between different skyrmionic bubbles (e.g., Bloch type, type\u2010II) enabling spontaneous chirality fluctuations with a frequency that increases with the strength of the in\u2010plane field. The insulating van der Waals ferromagnet CrBr\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    is used as an archetypal system for low damping, reduced energy dissipation and a high number of magnetic phases to capture the chirality dynamics in real time through cryo\u2010Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. It is observed that the interplay between the intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii\u2013Moriya interaction and out\u2010of\u2010plane field biased the chirality dynamics, favoring one handedness over the other. A remarkable consequence of the spontaneous chirality switching mechanism is that it induces a freezing (or crystallization) process in the skyrmion lattice. As the bubbles fluctuate between Bloch and type\u2010II they elongate and shrink parallel to the in\u2010plane field. Subsequently, the overall lattice crystallizes along the in\u2010plane field direction, inducing a phase transition from a disordered liquid state to a hexatic phase where skyrmions are highly ordered resembling that of a solid. The results indicate chirality as an active element in the creation of topologically protected skyrmion crystals unveiling pathways toward chiral spintronic device platforms with tunable embedded\u00a0configuration.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.202513067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,28]],"date-time":"2025-10-28T14:02:00Z","timestamp":1761660120000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Observation of Topological Chirality Switching Induced Freezing of a Skyrmion Crystal"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"John","family":"Fullerton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Materials Science Division Argonne National Laboratory  Lemont IL 60439 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Materials Science Division Argonne National Laboratory  Lemont IL 60439 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harshvardhan","family":"Solanki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Condensed Matter and Complex Systems School of Physics and Astronomy University of Edinburgh  Edinburgh EH9 3FD UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergey","family":"Grebenchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Grzeszczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaolong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"},{"name":"School of Advanced Materials Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School Peking University  Shenzhen Guangzhou 518055 China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makars","family":"\u0160i\u0161kins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kostya S.","family":"Novoselov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Koperski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute For Functional Intelligent Materials National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore 117544 Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elton J.
