ABSTRACT:
There is provided shorte nanotubes and nanoparticles. The nanotubes are in general terms shorter than conventionally produced nanotubes. An improved apparatus for production of the fullerenes and nanocarbons is also disclosed wherein a moveable contactor is attached to a first electrode within a sealable chamber, and is spaced from the second electrode such that an electric discharge can pass between them.
