Certain knots, like this trefoil, can be formed from vortices in a quantum fluid<\/p>\n

By manipulating a quantum fluid, researchers could form liquid knots that never unravel. These could help us shed light on odd quantum objects from the dawn of the universe.<\/p>\n

When tiny whirlpools called vortices<\/a> form in a fluid, they can make loops that can then be knotted like a loop of string. But while a string can form knots that won\u2019t unravel without the help of scissors, knotted vortices in a fluid break free more easily. They can explode into a diffuse swarm of\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
