Nanotube technology. Computer artwork of three carbon nanotubes with a magnified close-up (centre) of the hexagonal carbon structure of the nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical versions of macromolecules called 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.
