title: Controlled formation of carbon nanotube junctions via linker-induced assembly in aqueous solution.
abstract: Here we present a simple approach for the controlled formation of one-dimensional and multiterminal nanotube junctions. We describe a facile bottom-up strategy for joining the ends of single-walled carbon nanotubes. The geometry of the junctions can be varied and controlled by linker-induced assembly of DNA-wrapped nanotubes.
