Another important group of fullerene-related compounds are the carbon nanotubes, the reference compounds of the carbon nano-science. They may be obtained by convenient variations of the preparation procedure mentioned. These are long tubular fullerenes with a concentric shell structure a few nanometres wide and often capped with C60-like hemisphere or faceted tips. They are mechanically very strong and either metallic conducting or semiconducting types have been obtained. 

It has been pointed out however that further innovative steps are needed before single nano-tubes devices with adequate reproducibility can be made. A paper by Zhang et al. (2006) indicates parallel research lines intended to develop the various complementary aspects of nano-sciences and their applications. They observed that metallic and semi-conducting carbon nano-tubes generally coexist in as grown...

Whilst the world of microbiological processing has a long history, in another sense it is as up-to-date as the recent captivating interest in the nano-sciences. In the cells typically used for a microbial transformation, several enzymes (catalysts) are packed into a cell volume of the order of 10s of pL (IpL = 10 L) for yeasts, and of about 100 pL for bacteria. Since a nanoliter is 10 L, and microbes are a fraction of this volume, these may be thought of as the ultimate nanoreactors. Appreciation of these aspects of microbial processing could prompt the use of nanotechnology-based probes to further understand, and possibly even to influence, these processes.

The central component of modem weapon systems is the energetic material either in the form of an e q>losive or a propellant. The research in novel energetic nmterials and their wetqxniization is at tiie heart of defense. Nano-science and technology will not only provide new materials, propellants and eiqilosives but also greatly enhance the understandiitg of these powerfiil materials.
