Abstract

A simple focused laser beam pruning method is used to fabricate unique two‐ and three‐ dimensional structures (see Figure and the cover), without a pre‐patterned substrate and under ambient conditions. The construction of microscopic movable carbon nanotube (CNT) structures that are controlled by laser light are also reported. The technique allows a wide range of 3D CNT microstructures to be created.
