Three-dimensional excitable media host vortex filaments that can be created with a range of knotted and linked topologies. The evolution of these excitable knots and links is both complex and fascinating, as shown by examples of knot untangling and t... Read More about Excitable and magnetic knots.

Hopfions (2018)
Book Chapter
Sutcliffe, P. (2018). Hopfions. In M. Ge, A. Niemi, K. Phua, & L. Takhtajan (Eds.), Ludwig Faddeev memorial volume : a life in mathematical physics (539-547). World Scientific Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1142/9789813233867_0025

More than 40 years ago, Faddeev proposed the existence of three-dimensional topological solitons classified by the integer-valued Hopf invariant. These solitons are now known as hopfions and have been investigated in a range of systems, including the... Read More about Hopfions.
