| contents | In this paper, a selection of elegant, highly symmetric examples of three-periodic tangled nets and filaments are presented. They are constructed via familiar crystal nets using edges as geometric scaffolds for n-fold helical windings. Rather than providing a complete classification, this gallery of examples highlights recurring geometric motifs, offering insight into how periodic tangles are organised in crystalline, molecular, and biological systems. |
