When pushed by the pin-like tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, the nanonet rolls up. When the device is removed, the nanonet unfurls, demonstrating a remarkable flexibility in this new structure, Boston College researchers report in the German Chemical Society journal Angewandte Chemie International.
