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. They are made by a spontaneous self-coiling process of nanobelts . Many layers of nanobelts are rolled together as coils, layer-by-layer.
