The electrical properties of one dimensional conductors raised various interesting issues together with the possible application as components of integrated circuits.The one-dimensional shape of nanowires, however, does not guarantee the real one-dimensionality in conduction mechanism and the practical application such as memory devices because of many physical and technical problems including contact resistances and assembly techniques. In this talk, some recent experimental results on electrical properties of nanowires will be presented. In particular, electrical properties of carbon nanotubes, ZnO nanowires, and V2O5 nanowires will be discussed.
