“富勒烯”的发现为碳科学的知识增加了一个新的维度（1）;随后发现的“碳纳米管”（CNT，细长的富勒烯）为技术知识增加了一个新的维度（2）。今天，“纳米技术”是一个热门话题，吸引了科学家，工业家，记者，政府，甚至一般公众。纳米技术是通过在纳米尺度上控制物质和利用物质的新现象和性质（物理，化学，生物，电学等）来创造功能材料，设备和系统。在这个长度范围内。碳纳米管被认为是纳米技术的关键组成部分。几乎每周都有新的碳纳米管的潜在应用被发现，这激发了科学家们越来越多的好奇心来窥视这个微小的管子。
The discovery of 'fullerenes' added a new dimension to the knowledge of carbon science (1); and the subsequent discovery of 'carbon nanotubes' (CNTs, the elongated fullerene) added a new dimension to the knowledge of technology(2). Today, 'nanotechnology' is a hot topic attracting scientists, industrialists, journalists, governments, and even the general public. Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices, and systems through control of matter on the nanometer scale and the exploitation of novel phenomena and properties of matter (physical, chemical, biological, electrical, etc.) at that length scale. CNTs are supposed to be a key component of nanotechnology. Almost every week a new potential application of CNTs is identified, stimulating scientists to peep into this tiny tube with ever increasing curiosity.
