	Image 1 - A Boron-nitride nanotube Small image Larger image
	Image 2 - A multi-walled nanotube Small image Larger image
	Image 3 - Nano lattice Small image Large image
	Image 4 - Cone made of nano-cluster Small image Large image
	Image 5 - Nano-rope Small image Large image
	Image 6 - Nanocluster sphere Small image Large image
	Image 7 - Nanowire Small image Large image
	Image 8 - Nano cluster Small image Large image
	Image 9 - Nanotube periodic array Small image Large image
	Image 10 - Twisted nanotube Small image Large image
	Image 11 - Parallelpiped nanocluster Small image Large image
	Image 12 - Single walled nanotube Small image Large image
	Image 13 - A single strand of DNA attached to a Gold surface. The system is a simplified prototype of a DNA-chip. Structural and dynamical properties can be studied using molecular modeling software.
	Image 14 - A polymer chain helically wrapping a carbon nanotube.
	Image 15 - 'Buckyaspirin' - an aspirin molecule attached to a Buckyball. An orbital localized on the phenyl ring is displayed.
	Image 16 - Five water molecules forming a H-bonded complex just above a carbon nanotube tip. The HOMO is confined to the nanotube only. The presence of polar water molecules enhances field-emission current from nanotube tip.
	Image 17 - SnO₂ nanoribbon with exposed (10-1) and (010) surfaces. Such a system can be used as ultrasensitive nanosensors for various gases, e.g., NO₂, O₂, and CO.
	Image 18 - Drug delivery - a Pluronic P85 block copolymer in aqueous solution, with a small amount of a neuroleptic drug (Haloperidol).
