Extensive networks of oriented single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended on elevated tower structures can be synthesized by the enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process described in this article (the experimental setup is shown in the Figure). It is demonstrated that high yields of continuous SWNTs with lengths up to 150 μm can be obtained (see also cover).
