And they work in real life too :)
Smooth-rolling objects require virtually no force to start moving – even with low friction, they roll.

An object is “smooth-rolling” if its center of mass remains at a constant height while it rolls.
We created knots with this property by combining Morton’s knots with Two-Disk Rollers.

Smooth-rolling knots!
At @markpauly.bsky.social’s lab, we found a way to optimize knots for smooth rolling.
I presented our work at Bridges 2025 – the conference for #MathArt.
