We describe the fabrication of a nanoelectromechanical system consisting of a plate rotating around a multiwalled nanotube bearing. The nanotube has been engineered so that the sliding happens between different shells. The motion is possible thanks to the low static intershell friction, which we have estimated to be ∼0.85 MPa.
