We investigate the structural, electronic, and transport properties of mechanically deformed Mo6S6 nanowires using a density-functional based tight binding method extended with a Green's functions formalism. We present two interesting results: first, the properties of the wire are not affected by bending, and second, a metal-insulator transition occurs when the wire is twisted. This indicates that molybdenum sulfide nanowires can be used as a nanocable to flexibly transfer information between electromechanical switches, which can be also constructed from the same wires. Hence, our results suggest the Mo6S6 nanowires as unique building blocks for future nanodevices.
