Rotating carbon nanotube


Shows a carbon nanotube in all its glory. Adds a lot to the article, despite being small and cut-off (impossible to avoid with these macromolecules). If anyone can find a larger version, that would be greatly appreciated.


 * Nominate and support. - Jack (talk) 16:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose, sorry, but the CNT illustrations by User:Mstroeck have much higher encyclopedic value. --Dschwen 21:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not terribly more useful than the static FPs we have of the nanotubes. Also, I don't know why the thing is "jittering" as it rotates. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I find it plain and not very helpfull or informative. A caption would be needed to even moderately inform the viewer of its purpose, while diagrams and animations are for the most part self-explanatory. -- AJ24 01:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * comment i really do not undestand how an animation "galloping horse" (in de-listing nomination) could be more FP-worth than this.--Vircabutar 04:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose Agree with above --Fir0002 09:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - need colors for this... Renata 21:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. Looks like its swaying in the wind. (If its meant to, switch to Abstain.) --Billpg 23:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Very informative. Sure, I wish it wouldn't jitter, and yes, it would be prettier if it had color (although I don't know quite what for), but I find this image, as it is, very helpful for understanding the three-dimensional structure of the molecule. Fg2 05:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
