Basket, Flat Plumbing and Flat Plumbing Basket Numbers of Links

We define the basket number, the flat plumbing number and the flat plumbing basket number of a link. Then we provide some upperbounds for these plumbing numbers by using Seifert’s algorithm. We study the relation between these plumbing numbers and the genera of links.

Plumbing carbon nanotubes.

Since their discovery, the possibility of connecting carbon nanotubes together like water pipes has been an intriguing prospect for these hollow nanostructures. The serial joining of carbon nanotubes in a controlled manner offers a promising approach for the bottom-up engineering of nanotube structures--from simply increasing their aspect ratio to making integrated carbon nanotube devices. To d...
