The strain‐induced change in a carbon‐nanotube diffraction pattern is found after applying strain, using a microelectromechanical tensile stage, to the outer shell of a double‐walled carbon nanotube, while the inner shell provides an unstrained reference pattern. The nanotube is found to have chirality (63,21)@(65,32) with 16–20° tilt and strain up to 1% in the outer shell.
