✦ Synopsis
Molecular‐scale “glass” blowing of multi‐wall carbon nanotubes into nanobulbs (see Figure) is achieved in a unique tube growth environment generated by the explosive decomposition of picric acid. Results indicate that carbon nanotubes have remarkable thermoplasticity and structural fluidity during their generation, and can be engineered into various shaped micro‐vessels or devices.
