Soliton Fusion
If you have viewed the previous animations, you will have noticed that just
after the solitons pass through one another, their speed is reduced as
they struggle to escape what is apparently an attractive binding force. For
incident velocities slightly less than those presented earlier, the emerging
bullets come to a complete standstill after the collision and then
subsequently fuse to form a single soliton state.
