Gauss and p-adic numbers
In his notebooks, Gauss recorded various calculations with "infinite congruences". These infinite congruences are p-adic numbers; Gauss computes a square root of $5$ in the $11$-adic integers in order to find an $11$-adic approximation to a quadratic Gauss sum, computes a nontrivial square root of $1$ in $10$-adic integers, and computes the $10$-adic logarithms of small natural numbers.

Frenkel anomaly on co-ordination numbers in liquid CO2 at 100 and 1000 bar studied by Monte Carlo simulation using Kihara potential model
An issue concerning the Frenkel line of liquid CO2 is that its location has not been unequivocally determined. So far, reliable Frenkel lines were identified from velocity autocorrelation functions (VAFs) computed by Molecular Dynamic simulations; however VAFs cannot be directly verified experimentally. By contrast, the co-ordination numbers (CNs) can be measured experimentally by X-ray and neutron scattering or computed by Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, and thus provide an alternative means of d…

While bosonic tidal Love numbers vanish for black holes in general relativity, it has been recently revealed that fermionic tidal perturbations can induce non-zero Love numbers for Kerr black holes.
