Abstract

Nanoassembly of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) is three-dimensional space is realized by positioning building blocks with nanometer-order accuracy, joining them together through van der Waals forces, and fixing them with chemical bonds through nanorobotic manipulations. Furthermore, MWNT intramolecular junctions are constructed.
