Molybdenum Sulphide Nanotubes have concertina-like wall structures andexhibit dynamic properties consistent with nanoscale spring and shock-absorber behaviour Sussex NanoScience group with Humberto Terrones and Reshef Tenne
When molybdenum sulphide nanotubes stretch or compress, angle-bending distortion takes place and the angle-bending vibrational frequencies are much lower than the graphenic in-plane distortions that are involved when carbon nanotubes extend and compress
