We report the first detection of carbon nanotubes in the gas phase in a matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometric experiment. These observations open the possibility of studying isolated nanotubes in the gas phase by means of various spectroscopic methods and a possible way to separate them.
