nanotube
Microscopic rolled graphene
A nanotube is a cylindrical structure with walls only a few atoms thick, typically made of carbon.
Carbon nanotubes are extraordinarily strong relative to their weight and have unique electrical properties, making them promising for applications in electronics, materials science, and medicine.
Researchers are developing nanotube-based drug delivery systems.
