Knotty situations in biological (and other) physics
Long molecules naturally become entangled, both with themselves and with one another.

Details
These entanglements can fundamentally influence the physics of chain-based systems, such as polymer solutions and networks.
This talk will explore why incorporating the physics of knots is often challenging in statistical physics and discuss several mathematical ways in which one can deal with the mathematics of knots in physical systems.
