A new research on electron conduction in double-wall carbon nanotubes finally offers an explanation for a long-ununderstood phenomenon about interlayer conductance and provides a predictive model to simulate the behaviour of such structures. A class of “switchable” nanotubes is also identified. This work, recently published in “Carbon”, was carried out in collaboration by members of the ICN2, Utrecht University and the University of Liège.
