## Description

- description: Atomically thin nanotubes of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides
    offer a platform for exploring quantum phenomena at the one-dimensional limit
    and for realizing nanoscale transistor channels. However, conventional syntheses
    produce only large-diameter (>10 nm), multiwalled tubes with uncontrolled chiralities.
    We report the synthesis of single-walled molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanotubes
    with diameters approaching 1 nm, achieved through spatially confined reactions
    inside boron nitride (BN) nanotubes. The confined geometry stabilizes otherwise
    inaccessible, highly strained MoS2 nanotubes, yielding structurally well-defined
    armchair configurations. Their bandgaps shrink systematically with decreasing
    diameter, in accordance with long-standing theoretical predictions. The insulating
    BN sheath simultaneously provides an intrinsic gate-all-around architecture, thereby
    promising access to truly nanoscale transistor channels.
