The formation and evolution of galaxies is fundamentally driven by the formation of new stars out of cold gas.

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.
