The gold nanotubes are thus several hundred times finer than a human hair. Their wall thickness depends both on the duration of precipitation and on the gold concentration of the original solution.
Ensinger's team has tested already successfully one use of the gold nanotubes: they are suitable for building sensors to measure hydrogen peroxide.
The gold nanotubes conduct electricity especially well due to their one-dimensional structure. In addition, they are relatively long
