  Nanoscrolls are papyrus-like nanostructures which present unique properties
due to their open ended morphology. These properties can be exploited in a
plethora of technological applications, leading to the design of novel and
interesting devices. During the past decade, significant advances in the
synthesis and characterization of these structures have been made, but many
challenges still remain. In this mini review we provide an overview on their
history, experimental synthesis methods, basic properties and application
perspectives.
