Braid theory has recently been applied to fluid mechanics, specifically to the field of chaotic mixing in fluid flows.

Configuration spaces are related to braid theory, where the braid group is considered as the fundamental group of the space .

In the mathematical area of braid theory, the Dehornoy order is a left-invariant total order on the braid group, found by .

In knot theory and braid theory, the Borromean rings and the standard braid exhibit rock-paper-scissors ordering.

While (1-dimensional) links are defined as embeddings of circles, it is often interesting and especially technically useful to consider embedded intervals (strands), as in braid theory.

In topology, a branch of mathematics, braid theory is an abstract geometric theory studying the everyday braid concept, and some generalizations.

Joan Sylvia Lyttle Birman (May 30, 1927) is an American mathematician, specializing in braid theory and knot theory.

A very different approach to the stability-decoherence problem is to create a topological quantum computer with anyons, quasi-particles used as threads and relying on braid theory to form stable logic gates.

Since the world lines form a mathematical braid, braid theory, a related field to knot theory, is used in studying the properties of such a computer, called a topological quantum computer.

Off- topic, but you can't comment on it: vis the 'What's That Sound - Bells' article, I don't think using braid theory to explain change ringing would illuminate, you're probably better of just with permutation-groups.

Preon and models inspired by preons such as the Ribbon model of Standard Model particles by Sundance Bilson-Thompson, based in braid theory and compatible with loop quantum gravity and similar theories.
