Nanotubes reveal their potential : The fabrication of a thin film that retains isolated single‐walled nanotubes (SWNTs) allows the experimental determination of the redox potentials of many individual SWNTs that have different chirality indexes ( n , m ). The method is simple and applicable to all individual SWNTs whose near‐IR photoluminescence (PL) is detectable (see picture).
