1. A fluidic nanotube, comprising:

  • a tubular member having first and second ends, and an inner bore between said first and second ends;

    said tubular member having a non-porous inner wall;

    said tubular member comprising a non-carbon, hydrophilic material;

    wherein said nanotube is a functional component of a device selected from the group of devices consisting essentially of nanocapillary devices, field effect transistors, nanoelectrophoretic devices, detectors, DNA sequence detectors, immunosensors, tube-field-effect transistors, microfluidic wafers, nanocapillary wafers, electrode wafers, MEMS switching chips, transistors, sensors, thermoelectric devices, photonic devices, nanoelectromechanical actuators, nanoelectromechanical sensors, nanoscale fluidic bioseparators, and imaging devices.
