At long last, our paper on skyrmionic hopfions in structured light beams is published in @NatureComms !

Dr Ben Bode, formerly of this parish, has not one but two papers on polynomials in the current issue of Journal of Knot Theory and its Ramifications. Dr Bode, you are spoiling us.

Have a very Knotty Christmas, from the SPOCK team.

Want to tie knots in light? Danica and Mark gave it a go - see their paper, 'Singular knot bundle in light'. https://t.co/jkNxRPNt3h

There's a new female Doctor this week! No not that one - Dr Teuntje Tijssen has passed her Viva on her thesis, “Spin manifestations in structured light and matter waves”. Congratulations Teuntje!

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Our Keith passed his Viva today on 'Projecting proteins and random walks: knotting in open curves via virtual knots'. CONGRATULATIONS Dr Alexander!

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

This is seriously awesome

Our researchers at @swnuclearhub @unibrisphysics @uobengineering have hatched the world's first ‘dragon eggs’ – sensor pods designed to monitor volcanic activity. This video shows drones deploying the eggs on to the top of an active volcano in Italy. https://t.co/D3VSG0I0Pz

Heading towards the close of the day with Keith explaining how to close a virtual knot.

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Our special guests Tom and @csbrasnett are very politely listening to Dave explaining skyrmions. Again.

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Simon and Merv discuss the finer points of knot theory over lunch. Just kidding, it's probably about cider.

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

How do you find the holes in your light field? Tie it in a knot, obviously. Mind you that's our answer to everything.

@stevenstrogatz Thanks for reminding us of Art Winfree. Indeed, he provided much of the original inspiration and encouragement for our pursuit of optical knots.

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Our new optical knots! Now with seifertometry!

Rumours that the SPOCK project has a new PI, who likes Wensleydale, are largely unfounded. @GromitUnleashed

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

CONGRATULATIONS to our PhD student Ben Bode, who passed his Viva last week! 🎓👏🎓👏🎓👏

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

We enjoyed the @UniBrisPhysics Summer Party today!

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Our latest paper, co-authored by our PI, Prof Mark Dennis.

Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 233602 (2018) - Measuring Geometric Phase without Interferometry https://t.co/Ck3hGm0CUw

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

That's our Dave, that is. https://t.co/4DE4Kf3PYg

[Skyrmions @UniKentSkyrmion]

Dave Foster and co-authors have discovered magnetic Skyrmions with topological charge greater than one, see https://t.co/68qZrdpIZ1 for more details.

[Bristol SPOCK @SPOCKBristol]

Latest paper from our consultant and collaborator Stu Whittington - 'Force-induced desorption of 3-star polymers: a self-avoiding walk model'
