Now, using algebraic topology, researchers from the UK have developed a scheme for creating optical vortices in propagating laser fields to form knots and links (Nature Phys. 6, 118–121 ...
Visit the homepage for more information. The story of the Devotion to Mary, Untier of Knots begins with the German nobleman Wolfgang Langenmantel (1568-1637). For some years, he had been married to ...
This volume provides a self-contained introduction to applications of loop representations, and the related topic of knot theory, in particle physics and quantum gravity. These topics are of ...
While much of the world used stone tablets or other media that didn’t survive the centuries, the Incas used something called quipu which encoded numeric data in strings using knots. Now the ...
