The nano car consists of a chassis and axles made of well-defined clusters, suspended on pivot axes which rotate freely. The wheels are of the "buckyball", spheres of pure carbon containing 60 atoms each. Entire vehicle is 3 to 4 nanometers, and is slightly wider than a strand of DNA. A human hair, by comparison,has about 80,000 nanometers in diameter.
