Nanotube theoretical and experimental research has developed very rapidly over the last seven years, following the bulk production of C₆₀ and structural identification of carbon nanotubes in soot deposits formed during plasma arc experiments. This review summarises achievements in nanotube technology, in particular various routes to carbon nanotubes and their remarkable mechanical and conducting properties. The creation of novel nanotubules, nanowires and nanorods containing other elements such as B, N, Si, O, Mo, S and W is also reviewed. These advances are paving the way to nanoscale technology and promise to provide a wide spectrum of applications.
