Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a viable electronic material for molecular electronic devices because of their unique physical and electrical properties [1–7]. For example, nanotubes have a lightweight and record-high elastic modulus, and they are predicted to be by far the strongest fibers that can be made. Their high strength and high flexibility are unique mechanical properties. They...

This paper reviews recent important results in the development of neuromorphic network architectures (‘CrossNets’) for future hybrid semiconductor=nanodevice-integrated circuits. In particular, we have shown that despite the hardware-imposed limitations, a simple weight import procedure allows the CrossNets using simple two-terminal nanodevices to perform functions (such as image recognition an...

As the size of conventional nano-CMOS devices continues to shrink, they are beginning to approach the size of biologically relevant macromolecules such as ion channels. This, in concert with the increasing understanding of the behaviour of proteins in vivo, creates the potential for a revolution in the sensing, measurement and interaction with biological systems. In this paper we will demonstra...
