Translational oscillations and discontinuous molecular rotations are observed (by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy) for the first time for molecular arrays inside SWNTs (see picture; blue dot=endohedral Ce atom). The fullerene rotation rate is different for isolated and aggregated nanotubes.
