内容简介：

The developments of helical nanobelts fabricated by the self-scrolling technique will be presented. Nanorobotic manipulation results show that these structures are highly flexible and mechanically stable. The freestanding helical nanobelts with single or dual chirality are design and fabricated to work as motion converters. The potential applications of these miniaturized chiral structures in MEMS and microrobotics will be discussed.
