Nano-scale manipulation and property measurements of individual nanowire-like structure is challenged by the small size of the structure. Scanning probe microscopy has been the dominant toot for property characterizations of nanomaterials. We have developed an alternative novel approach that allows a direct measurement of the mechanical and electrical properties of individual nanowire-like structures by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The technique is unique in a way that it can directly correlate the atomic-scale microstructure of the nanowire with its physical properties. This paper reviews our cur-rent progress in applying the technique in investigating the mechanical and electron field emission properties of carbon nanotubes and nanowires.
