Combining advanced semiconductor technology, synthetic organic chemistry, and high resolution transmission electron spectroscopy it is possible to prepare electronic and electromechanical devices based on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes and to fully characterize these devices by electrical and mechanical investigations and electron diffraction. We present examples of ultrafine electrochemical electrodes, T-junction transistors, peapod transistors, electromechanical acceleration sensors, and a torsional pendulum. The state of the art of industrial applications is reviewed.
