Nanoring
A nanoring is a small ringformed crystal. The first nanoring made was a zinc oxide nanoring discovered by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology.[1] They are made by a spontaneous self-coiling process of nanobelts. Many layers of nanobelts are rolled together as coils, layer-by-layer.
