Synthetic self-propelled nanorotors

Abstract

Self-powered completely synthetic nanorotors have been prepared from barcoded gold–nickel nanorods having the gold end anchored to the surface of a silicon wafer; constant velocity circular movements are observed when hydrogen peroxide fuel is catalytically decomposed to oxygen at the unattached nickel end of the nanorod.
