摘要： This talk will present our latest research on single walled carbon   nanotubes.  We have been using carbon nanotube as a model system to study interesting nanoscale problems concerning materials synthesis, solid-state  physics and devices, surface science and nanobiotechnology.  This  presentation will cover our latest results in,

(1) Synthesis and assembly of nanotubes. 
(2) Coherent quantum electron transport and diffusive electron-phonon scattering phenomena in suspended nanotubes, including
electrical driven electroluminescence. 
(3) Gas phase hydrogenation and hydrocarbonation of nanotubes for metallic nanotube removal, and
(4) interfacing carbon nanotubes with living cells and small animals, and the  potential of nanotubes as a novel class of material for biological and  medical applications.
