We report the first experimental observation of tracer spinning in place alongside chemically powered individual nano/micromotors. The torques are primarily generated by the electroosmotic flow on the motor surface. Such spinning is observed in various combinations of nano/micromotors and tracers of different shapes, sizes and chemical compositions.
