Researchers uncover recipe for controlling carbon nanotubes (PhysOrg)

(PhysOrg.com) — Carbon nanotubes hold promise for delivering medicine directly to a tumor; acting as sensors so keen they detect the arrival or departure of a single electron; replacing costly platinum in fuel cells; or as energy-saving transistors and wires, but building them with the right structure has been a challenge.
