A star is born : Size‐selected, end‐functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes react with amine‐terminated dendrimers to form star‐shaped objects (see schematic representation). Analysis of the nanotube stars by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy show that they exhibit a peculiar response to electron beams.
