Nickel sulfide nanowires and compound‐filled MoS 2 nanotubes have been grown by controlled annealing of patterned fullerene and nickel thin films on molybdenum substrates. The versatile synthesis route gives highly crystalline nanostructures at temperatures below 550 °C with a high degree of positional control. The Figure shows a portion of an as‐grown nickel sulfide nanowire 19 nm in diameter (scale bar 2 nm).
