Abstract

Biomolecular self-assembly plays a key role in the life system. Herein, double-helical phospholipid-modified carbon nanotube structures were constructed <i>via</i> the self-assembly of phospholipids on carbon nanotubes. These micrometer size spring structures may find potential applications in biocompatible microrobots.
