Tubular bells and whistles : Building additional functionality into nanotubes by controlled synthesis may enable novel architectures and enhanced (opto)electronic devices. The composition of each wall in novel, hollow, crystalline silicon nanotubes (tube‐in‐tube and wire‐in‐tube nanostructures) can be independently defined, and the interwall distance and wall thickness can be controlled (picture: triple‐walled nanotube and corresponding TEM images).
