Tubular warning bells . Water‐soluble, protein‐functionalized, single‐walled carbon nanotubes (immuno‐SWNTs) have been prepared that can recognize and capture pathogenic E. coli cells selectively by antibody–antigen conjugation in a physiological environment, as shown in the scanning electron microscopy image.
