Fluorescent nanotubes (CdS‐LNT) with hollow cylindrical morphologies are prepared, where CdS nanodots (NDs) in a face‐centered cubic phase of the zinc blende structure have grown all over the bilayer membrane walls of a lipid nanotube (LNT). The hollow cylinder of the CdS‐ND‐embedded LNT was found to be able to load the spherical protein ferritin or gold nanoparticles inside (see figure).
