Researchers Discover a New Type of Optical Singularity that can be Applied to Nonlinear Optics

Generally, humans learn to tie their shoelaces when they are approximately six years old, making ribbon-like knots, or perhaps, more complex ones, if they are a bit clumsy. Knots are used on a daily basis, but the types of knots that are normally used are related to physical objects, that is, things that can be touched.
