Chemical vapor deposition of molybdenum disulfide on a well-isolated boron nitride nanotube creates a coaxial nanotube structure. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

On the other hand, tungsten disulfide nanotubes consist of nanosheets rolled multiple times to create a Swiss-roll-like nanostructure. Interestingly, they are known to always be semiconducting ...

In a study published in Nano Letters, Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers created the first tungsten disulfide nanotubes that point in the same direction upon formation. The team’s new synthesis ...
