| 发明名称 | Rotary nanotube bearing structure and methods for manufacturing and using the same | ||
| 摘要 | In one embodiment, a rotary device includes a multiwall nanotube that extends substantially perpendicularly from a substrate. A rotor may be coupled to an outer wall of the multiwall nanotube, be spaced apart from the substrate, and be free to rotate around an elongate axis of the multiwall nanotube. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for fabricating a rotary device, comprising: providing a multiwall nanotube on a substrate; growing a conformal release layer on the substrate and around at least a portion of the multiwall nanotube, wherein the conformal release layer is grown after providing the multiwall nanotube on the substrate; depositing rotor material on the conformal release layer and around at least a portion of the multiwall nanotube; and removing at least a portion of the conformal release layer between surfaces of the substrate and the rotor material so as to space the rotor material from the substrate, but such that the rotor material remains coupled to the multiwall nanotube and is free to rotate about a long axis of the multiwall nanotube. | ||
