Examples
-
Ising ferromagnets on the square, triangular, hexagonal and other lattices exhibit the same critical behavior, so RG is well regarded and completely noncontroversial.
-
It is applicable to a variety of physical systems: quantum electrodynamics (electrons plus photons), quantum chromodynamics (quarks plus gluons), ferromagnets near a critical point (spins) and even finance (derivative pricing).
-
Many species use built-in ferromagnets to detect their orientation with respect to the Earth's magnetic field.
-
As examples we can mention that liquids, mixtures of liquids, ferromagnets, and binary alloys show the same critical behaviour.
-
Since ferromagnets are already magnetic, conventional MRI can't see inside them.

-
Common household refrigerator magnets are ferromagnets.
-
"For example, ferromagnets are very useful for everyday life, and superconductors are becoming increasingly important in technology, to name just a couple."
-
Since ferromagnets are already magnetic, conventional MRI can't see inside them.
-
Because ferromagnets retain a particular polarization once magnetized, they are already essential components in today's computers and other electronics, where they provide data storage alongside computer chips.
