Topologically protected vortex knots and links
Ordered materials, such as liquid crystals and Bose-Einstein condensates, support topological vortices, which are analogous to vortices in water, but have qualitatively different properties. Here, the authors show that some links of topological vortices can exhibit much greater stability than analog...
