ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of processing a nanotube, comprising the steps of: causing a selective solid state reaction between a selected part of a nanotube and a reactive substance to have the selected part only become a reaction product; and separating the nanotube from the reaction product to define an end of the nanotube.
