Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-49217-w, published online 07 June 2024

In this article a reference was omitted from the ‘Introduction’ section. The sentence “First of all, the deposition of the gold component on the nanomotor chassis is difficult to control spatially.” should read “First of all, the deposition of the gold component on the nanomotor chassis is difficult to control spatially42. “

This has been corrected in the pdf version of the article.
