Excitons reveal nanotube reactions
Visualizing single-molecule reactions on the sidewalls of individual carbon nanotubes show how electron-hole pairs, called excitons, move through these materials, say scientists in France and the US. The results could lead to nanotubes being used as sensors in biological cells as well as provide a better understanding of the excitonic processes that occur in these 1D nanosystems.
