Aligned Nanocables: Controlled Sheathing of CuO Nanowires by a Self‐Assembled Tubular Glycolipid

Aligned nanocables, consisting of CuO nanowire cores and lipid nanotube shells, are prepared by sheathing an aligned array of CuO nanowires with a self-assembled tubular glycolipid (see figure). The sheath thickness of the nanocable is tunable by changing the incubation temperature of the lipid on the CuO nanowire.
