Freshwater Ice can form Scallops and Spikes when Melted

The erratic density of water causes odd phenomena that researchers are still investigating. If you stare long enough at your nearest ice-filled drinking glass, you’ll…
Difference between Reflection and Refraction

Difference between Reflection and Refraction

There is a distinct difference between reflection and refraction, and it is critical to analyze both terms and understand their definitions. Reflection and refraction are…
Wormholes Could Help Solve the Information Paradox of Black Holes

Wormholes Could Help Solve the Information Paradox of Black Holes

The so-called Black Hole Information Paradox has been solved in a novel way. It requires an unusual general relativity solution: wormholes, which are special bridges…

Ferromagnetic Materials (Definition, Causes, Properties)

Ferromagnetic Materials (Definition, Causes, Properties)

The term “ferromagnetism” comes from the term “ferrous,” which alludes to iron, the first metal to be discovered with magnetic field-attractive properties. When a magnetic…
The Gap Between Ferroelectric and Ferromagnetic Materials is Bridged by Tiny Electrical Vortexes

The Gap Between Ferroelectric and Ferromagnetic Materials is Bridged by Tiny Electrical Vortexes

Ferroelectric materials generate their own electrical field, while ferromagnetic materials generate their own magnetic field. Despite the fact that electric and magnetic fields are related,…
Numerical Simulations of Ultra-Cold Superfluids Reveal Eccentric Fractional Skyrmion

Numerical Simulations of Ultra-Cold Superfluids Reveal Eccentric Fractional Skyrmion

In a ferromagnetic superfluid, a scientist from Osaka City University discovered skyrmions with half-integer topological numbers. Superfluidity is the property of a fluid with no…
