Abstract Controlling mass transportation using intrinsic mechanisms is a challenging topic in nanotechnology. Herein, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the mass transport inside carbon nanotubes (CNT) with temperature gradients, specifically the effects of adding a static carbon hoop to the outside of a CNT on the transport of a nanomotor inside the CNT. We reveal that the underlying mechanism is the uneven potential energy created by the hoops, i.e., the hoop outside the CNT forms potential energy barriers or wells that affect mass transport inside the CNT. This fundamental control of directional mass transportation may lead to promising routes for nanoscale actuation and energy conversion.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
