Using concepts of defects in graphene lattices (see image) a new class of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is predicted, with an unusual one‐dimensional electronic structure. These CNTs are of comparable stability to known carbon nanostructures, have similar mechanical properties, and may be useful in applications based on a combination of electronic transport properties.
