Fibrous aggregates composed of radially assembled graphene‐based single‐walled nanotubules are prepared, named here as fibrous aggregates of single‐walled carbon nanohorns (fib‐CNHs), whose structure resembles that of chenille stems. The newly discovered fib‐CNHs are 30–100 nm in diameter and 1–10 μm in length. The fib‐CNHs show high dispersibility and conductivity. The fib‐CNHs increase the advantages of nanocarbons in various fields.
