Preferred Term:
nanotubes
Definition:
Nanostructures having a closed, tubular morphology that can be single-walled or multi-walled. The structures are believed to be defect free, leading to high strength despite their low density; and can be either electrically conductive or semiconductive, depending on their helicity.
