Scientists create new nanotube structures

Thanks to the rising trend toward miniaturization, carbon nanotubes - which are about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair and possess several unique and very useful properties - have become the choice candidates for use as building blocks in nanosized electronic and mechanical devices. But it is precisely their infinitesimal dimensions, as well as their tendency to clump together, that make it difficult for scientists to manipulate nanotubes.
