Abstract

Knotted segments are a natural occurence in linear chains subjected to fluctuations. We study experimentally the size and dynamics of knots in a shaken metal chain. For a given set of conditions, we find that the time it takes a knot to slip off the end of the chain depends sensitively on its topology.
