100 mm long semiconducting triple‐walled carbon nanotubes (TWNTs) with uniform sections of up to 35 mm having the same chirality index, can be obtained by a gas‐flow‐directed growth method, as reported by Weizhong Qian and co‐workers on p. 1867 . The chiral angle distributions of the TWNTs were dominantly between 20° and 30°. The maximum current density sustained by each shell could reach up to 3.7 ×10 8 A/cm 2 .
