We discuss the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and devices incorporating carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate novel measurement and force application techniques using an atomic force microscope coupled to a unique computing environment that simplifies manipulations. We report on results from measurements of the mechanical and electronic interactions between nanotubes and graphite surfaces. We also fabricate nanometer‐scale electromechanical devices which incorporate nanotubes as springs, and discover a remarkable stiffening behavior of the nanotubes.
