Transport in nanowires and nanographene with emphasis on nanotubes is reviewed from classical to quantum, low-field to high-field, nondegenrate to degenerate, scattering limited to ballistic, and beyond. Nonequilibrium Arora distribution function (NEADF) is shown to be an outgrowth of the Fermi-Dira...
