topology

These principles are governed by the nuanced interplay of stitch patterns, geometry, and yarn topology -- the undercrossings or overcrossings in a knot or stitch.

"Qin and I showed that using topology," Palmerduca said, "we can modify Wigner's classification for massless particles, giving a description of photons that works in all directions at the same time."

COFs are a new class of porous, crystalline, purely organic materials with defined topology.

That kept the values random -- but random within limits given by constraints of the network topology.

However, a novel approach in the current research involves the consideration of polymer topology -- the spatial arrangement and structure of molecules -- by using ring polymers.
