Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue are Takashi Kyotani, Tetsuji Itoh and co-workers at Tohoku University, Gunma University and AIST. The image depicts the synthesis of water-dispersible carbon nano-test tubes by using a template technique and the selective adsorption of DNA into the inner space of these test tubes.
