Hysteresis is a phenomenon occurring naturally in several magnetic and electric materials in condensed matter physics. When applied to cosmology, aka cosmological hysteresis, has interesting and vivid implications in the scenario of a…
A liquid drop moves on a solid surface if it is subjected to a gradient of wettability or temperature. However, the pinning defects on the surface manifested in terms of a wetting hysteresis, or first-order nonlinear friction, limit the…

The impurities, introduced intentionally or accidentally into certain materials, can significantly modify their characteristics or reveal their intrinsic physical properties, and thus play an important role in solid-state physics. Different…
Hysteresis dynamics has been described in a vast number of biological experimental studies. Many such studies are phenomenological and a mathematical appreciation has not attracted enough attention. In the paper, we explore the nature of…
Hysteresis is studied in a disordered Ising model in which diffusion of antiferromagnetic bonds is allowed in addition to spin flips. Saturation behavior changes to a figure-eight loop when diffusion is introduced. The upper and lower…
This article deals with dynamical systems depending on a slowly varying parameter. We present several physical examples illustrating memory effects, such as metastability and hysteresis, which frequently appear in these systems. A…
Correlated, or extended, impurities play an important role in the transport properties of dirty metals. Here, we examine, in the framework of a tight-binding lattice, the transmission of a single electron through an array of correlated…
Nonlinear mean-field models of the solar dynamo show long-term variability, which may be relevant to different states of activity inferred from long-term radiocarbon data. This paper is aimed to probe the dynamo hysteresis predicted by the…
The physical origin of hysteresis in condensed matter had not been previously identified. The current "science of hysteresis" is useful, but limited by phenomenological modeling. This article fills the void by revealing the exclusive cause…

Insects, pick-and-place manufacturing, engineered adhesives, and soft robots employ soft materials to stick to surfaces even in the presence of roughness. Experiments show that the force required for making contact is lower than for…
Experimental systems with a first order phase transition will often exhibit hysteresis when out of equilibrium. If defects are present, the hysteresis loop can have different shapes: with small disorder the hysteresis loop has a macroscopic…
