Good to hear #UnexpectedElements on #BBCWorldService celebrating the science behind the piña colada scent of gorse! My favourite! A countryside walk takes much longer with me stopping to sniff every 10 seconds...heavenly... I even have Lush's Furze perfume which is rather beautiful 💚

Has anybody studied the effects of ties on cables wound in circles (round your fingers, which is the easy way)?

Might it not be the ties which prevent the cable ends getting intimate rather than the topology of the winding?
