In recent years, various nanocars have been synthesized to provide controlled mechanical function, transport other nanoparticles, or enable bottom-up assembly capability. In this research, using molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics, the motion of nanoworm on the gold substrate was investigated. The incorporation of the azobenzene chromophore at the middle of the chassis allows for the potential motion of nanoworm by light as a source of external stimuli. The creators claimed that nanoworm could achieve controlled wormlike movement on gold substrate, which should be validated as the purpose of this research. In the first section, the movement of the p-carborane wheel on the gold surface...
