(a) Infiltrating the whole fibre with ethanol. (b) Slightly relaxing the fibre to observe the excessive twisting by moving the moveable substrate towards the motor. (c) An entanglement confirming the excessive twisting. (d) Clockwise rotation of the motor to release the excessive twisting. Scale bar in a, b and d, 2 cm. Scale bar in c, 2 mm.
