King Solomon's Knot and Nanotechnology
When my grandmother was a small child, my great-grandfather (who died when she was nine years old) showed her how to draw a symbol that she passed on to my father, who then showed me when I was a kid.
Having recently selected King Solomon's Knot for a business logo, imagine my surprise to learn that scientists at UCLA recently created one on the molecular level...

"UCLA chemists have made, at the nanoscale, a molecular compound of interlocked rings that has the shape of the ancient King Solomon's knot, a symbol of wisdom that is thousands of years old and is widely used in architecture and works of art. The Bible portrays Solomon as great in wisdom, wealth and power."
"King Solomon, according to Italian legend, was on a hill and was charged by God with protecting a village from large boulders that were going to roll down and destroy the village," said UCLA chemistry graduate student Cari Pentecost, lead author of the Solomon's knot research, which was published in this year's first issue of the German chemistry journal Angewandte Chemie. "King Solomon was holding three large boulders and took a rope and devised this knot to support the boulders and protect the town."
