Nanorods are elongated nanostructures with a diameter in the nanometer range and an aspect ratio (length-to-width ratio) greater than one. They are typically characterized by their unique optical, ...
One-dimensional nanostructures have been called by a variety of names including: whiskers, fibers or fibrils, nanowires and nanorods. In many cases, nanotubules and nanocables are also considered ...
They typically rely on catalytic reactions that generate local gradients in concentration, pressure, or surface tension, which propel the nanomotor. Examples include bimetallic nanorods that move ...
