Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers used boron-nitride nanotubes to create a variety of novel single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with varying compositions, chirality, and diameters.

<p>Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have engineered a range of new single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with different compositions, chirality, and diameters by templating off boron-nitride nanotubes. They also realized ultra-thin nanotubes grown inside the template, and successfully tailored compositions to create a family of new nanotubes. The ability to synthesize a diverse range of structures offers unique insights into th...
