Long-Lived Self-Entanglements in Ring Polymers

Long-Lived Self-Entanglements in Ring Polymers

© 2019 American Physical Society. The entanglement of ring polymers remains mysterious in many aspects. In this Letter, we use electric fields to induce self-entanglements in circular DNA molecules, which serve as a minimal system for studying chain entanglements. We show that self-threadings give r...
