Acceleration of hollow carbon nanospheres by gas leakage: An efficient nanomotor

Nanomotors serve as nanoscale engines by converting various energies into mechanical energy. In addition to the huge number of existing nanomotors, we propose a simple nanomotor based on the hollow carbon nanosphere (i.e., fullerene) that is full of gas. We investigate the acceleration of the nanosp...
