N2 - The recent progress in understanding mechanical and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes was discussed. Nanotubes are ballistic conductors that can be used in a variety of nanodevices, which can operate at room temperature. The electrical properties of nanotubes are dominated by the graphitic π electrons, and many of the electronic phenomena can be explained by simple, nearly analytical models that consider only the two uppermost bands of graphite.
