Carbon nanotube (CNT) based transmembrane porins have attracted a lot of recent interest due to their excellent transport properties for water, ions and biomolecules. In experiments, CNTs with a length of about 10 nm can penetrate and form stable transmembrane channels across lipid membranes, while...
