Atomically thin carbon nanotubes serve as transparent-test tubes for individual molecules of functionalised endohedral fullerenes. Aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy reveals the complex dynamic behaviour of these molecules at the atomic level, and it sheds light on the mechanism of their encapsulation into nanotubes.
原子层薄的碳纳米管可用作功能化富勒烯的单个分子的透明测试管。经过像差校正的透射电子显微镜可以在原子水平上揭示这些分子的复杂动态行为，并阐明它们封装进纳米管的机制。
