Nanotube technology. Computer artwork of a cylindrical fullerene (carbon nanotube) seen on a background of a flat sheet showing the hexagonal carbon structure found in fullerenes. Fullerenes are a structural form (allotrope) of carbon. Theoretically, a wide range of molecular shapes can be engineered at the molecular level using fullerenes. Such structures are being investigated for a wide range of technological and medical uses.
