1D WS2©MoTe2 Nanostructures In their Research Article (10.1002/sstr.202500258), Vojtech Kundrat, Reshef Tenne and co-workers synthesize core-shell WS2©WTe2 and inverted WTe2©WS2 nanotubes together with the WS2©MoTe2 nanotubular analogues by van der Waals epitaxy. The synthesized nanostructures are characterized and analyzed thoroughly using combined experimental and theoretical tools. The synthesized nanotubes reveal unique optical characteristics which are confirmed by computational models. The cover art displays models of both WS2©WTe2 and WTe2©WS2 nanotubes placed on a TEM grid. The inset shows an exploded view of the TEM image of a WS2©WTe2 nanotube with the model overlaid on its structure.
