Overview

HighlightsThe Internet of Things era related electronics were updated based on carbon nanotube transistors, radiofrequency circuits and energy storage devices.The applications in healthcare and biomedical devices were discussed including sensory, data processors and actuators.The fabrication of wafer-scale carbon nanotubes has been introduced as well as the machine learning strategy for prediction of optimal synthesis parameters.The post-Moore's era has boosted the progress in carbon nanotube-based transistors. Indeed, the 5G communication and cloud computing stimulate the research in applications of carbon nanotubes in electronic devices. In this perspective, we deliver the readers with the latest trends in carbon nanotube research, including high-frequency transistors, biomedical sensors and actuators, brain–machine interfaces, and flexible logic devices and energy storages. Future opportunities are given for calling on scientists and engineers into the emerging topics.
