Researchers have analyzed the mechanical forces underpinning simple knots, and come up with a theory that describes how a knot's topology determines its mechanical forces. Got rope? Then try this ...

J.D. Lenzen, the inventor of fusion knotting, explains knot tying in 15 levels of difficulty, from easy to complex. J.D. starts from the very beginning, with overhead, bowline, and square knots, and ...

Tying a knot can be tricky. Just ask any kid struggling with shoelaces. And scientists have it even harder when they try to make knots using tiny molecules. Now, in the journal Science, a team of ...
