摘要

Since 20th century,the development of rocket science has put forward to the dream of humankind that one day we can reach other planets except for observing them through telescope.The rockets get rid of gravity by a powerful engine,consuming chemical fuel to generate a vast thrust.Inspired by rockets and motors in macroscale,researchers on nanoscience and nanotechnology are able to construct engines which can carry and transport cargos in micro and nanoscale.
