Conductive tubes : Self‐assembled nanotubes of a bacteriochlorophyll derivative are reminiscent of natural chlorosomal light‐harvesting assemblies. After deposition on a substrate that consists of a non‐conductive silicon oxide surface (see picture, brown) and contacting the chlorin nanowires to a conductive polymer (yellow), they show exceptional charge‐transport properties.
