Toroidisia

Toroidisia is an interdisciplinary field of study concerned with toroid-shaped structures and phenomena. Drawing on geometry, topology, physics, and engineering, it treats toroids—the doughnut-like surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogues—as objects of theoretical and practical interest. The term is a neologism proposed to denote a cohesive umbrella for research into toroid-related forms across multiple disciplines.

Core topics include toroidal geometry and topology, toroidal coordinate systems, symmetry properties, and computational modeling. Researchers examine genus-one surfaces, curvature, stability of toroid-like configurations in fluids and elastic shells, and the role of toroids in magnetic confinement and metamaterials.

Applications span fusion devices, nanostructures, and materials science, as well as biological and chemical contexts where ring-shaped geometries arise in vesicles and supramolecular assemblies.

The field is relatively new and loosely defined; some scholars treat toroid-related topics within established domains such as topology, differential geometry, or plasma physics, while others advocate keeping toroidisia as an explicit interdisciplinary umbrella.

Related concepts include the torus, toroidal coordinates, donut-like surfaces in topology, magnetic confinement fusion, toroidal metamaterials, ring polymers, and toroid-shaped vesicles.
