I am a senior in National Taiwan University and have been in Prof.
Bih-Yaw Jin's lab since 2019. Following the strategy of the manuscript
titled "Constructing Bead Models of Smoothly Varying Carbon Nanotori
with Constant Radii and Related Intersecting Structures" submitted to
Bridge 2021, we design various styles of discrete space curve based on
mitering carbon nanotubes. The hypothetical molecular structures are
realized by mathematical beading as shown below.
The three strand braid is constructed by weaving three preshaped
(rigid) strings obtained from repeating the unit of a segment of
helix and its inversion.
This bead model is a highly-symmetric representation of 7 4 knot,
also know as the entangled hearts (black and white ones) knot.
