Abstract

Knot all that it seems: Although for some, knots are merely a frustration caused by poorly tied shoelaces, interest in knots in physical systems spans many disciplines, including fluid and optical vortices, Skyrmion states, liquid crystals, excitable media, polymers, proteins, DNA, and even chemical molecules. Tai and Smalyukh describe the creation of localized knotted structures in cholesteric liquid crystals using electric fields (see the Perspective by Alexander). The knots are topologically distinct from the host medium and diffuse and organize like colloidal particles, forming regular crystalline arrangements. Science , this issue p. 1449 ; see also p. 1377

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
