TL;DR Summary

Physicists have observed the formation of "Alice rings," strange loops in the fabric of reality, in a super cold gas. These circular structures, named after Alice from "Wonderland," are a type of one-sided magnetism known as topological monopoles. Monopoles can emerge in quantum fields and can decay into other types, including Alice strings that twist into one-sided magnetic poles and form loops called Alice rings. The observation of Alice rings provides valuable insights into the unstable nature of quantum fields and could contribute to a deeper understanding of the universe, matter, and information.
