The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

In this critical review we survey non-covalent interactions of carbon nanotubes with
molecular species from a chemical perspective, particularly emphasising the relationship …

This Account focuses on structural and dynamic behavior of molecules encapsulated in
carbon nanotubes. The impact of the confinement on the molecular packing, orientation …

The encapsulation and stability of beta-Carotene in single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWCNT) were investigated. Three types of SWCNTs were prepared by laser vaporization of …

Molecular structures appear to be natural candidates for a quantum technology: individual
atoms can support quantum superpositions for long periods, and such atoms can in principle …

Considerable progress has been made in the last several years in the fields of investigation
and understanding of the influence of encapsulated substances on the electronic properties …

Amidst the myriad of Drug Delivery Systems able to enhance delivery, absorption and
intracellular uptake of a bioactive molecule while protecting it from deactivation, Carbon …

The discovery of fullerenes in 1985 opened a completely new field of materials research.
Together with the single–wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) discovered later, these curved …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

We introduce the concept of meta-nanotubes, among which are hybrid carbon nanotubes
(X@ CNTs), which are CNTs whose hollow core is filled—fully or partially—with foreign …
