Copper‐filled carbon nanotubes can electrically be probed and engineered (see figure) inside a high‐resolution transmission electron microscope using a piezo‐driven stage. Unique switchlike or rheostatlike electrical behavior and electrical‐driven copper femtogram mass transport within nanotubes is shown.
