In the past decade, an unconventional approach to large‐scale fabrication of carbon‐nanotube and graphene devices has emerged, namely, dielectrophoretic (DEP) assembly. This technique has now been demonstrated in wafer‐scale assembly of nano‐carbon electronic devices, sensors, opto‐electronic devices and even suspended structures. It has also served as an enabling tool for a number of experiments which might otherwise not be possible. A detailed review of developments in DEP assembly of nano‐carbons is presented as a Feature Article by Aravind Vijayaraghavan (pp. 2505–2517 ). The cover image is an artist's concept of some typical carbon‐nanotube and graphene devices assembled by DEP (image courtesy N. Clark).
