Condensed matter confined on nanometer-sized length scales exhibits different structural and dynamical properties than its bulk counterparts. Surface interactions and pure confinement effects alter the characteristics of matter as the system size is reduced in an intriguing way. On this poster, we discuss how confinement in tubular, aligned channels a few nanometer across affects the mesoscopic arrangement of liquids and the crystal structure and texture of solidified condensates. We present x-ray as well as neutron scattering studies on pore-confined deuterium, nitrogen, oxygen and various n-alkanes.
