> But building nanostructures is difficult. And creating a large
> quantity of nanostructures with the same trait, such as millions of
> nanotubes with identical diameters, is even more difficult. This kind
> of precision manufacturing is needed to create the nanotechnologies
> of tomorrow.
>
> Help could be on the way. As reported online the week of March 28 in
> the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
> researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley
> National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a family of
> nature-inspired polymers that, when placed in water, spontaneously
> assemble into hollow crystalline nanotubes. What's more, the
> nanotubes can be tuned to all have the same diameter of between five
> and ten nanometers, depending on the length of the polymer chain.
