Emerging technologies (ETs), including artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Internet of Things (IoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), extended reality (XR), robotics, and 3D printing, have greatly impacted education. While these technologies are commonly used in informal learning, their application in formal education remains under explored. This systematic review addresses this gap by analyzing the effective use of these technologies in formal education. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and using bibliometric analysis, this research reviewed experimental studies from the Scopus database (2008–2022). Data visualization tools, including RStudio, VOSviewer, Python, and Microsoft Excel, facilitated robust analysis. The study identifies gaps in technology adoption arising from economic status, infrastructure, and digital literacy challenges. It highlights the benefits of mobile apps and Learning Management Systems (LMS) in enhancing information retrieval, communication, and learning support. Challenges include the need for pedagogical skills, ICT competencies, and information literacy. Additionally, the study explores the potential of adaptive learning technologies and personalized learning environments to transform education by tailoring experiences to individual needs. Effective technology integration in education provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers, highlighting strategies to overcome existing challenges and improve educational outcomes.

The requirements for using carbon nanotubes as vias and interconnects are described. The growth of high density forests of vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes for interconnect applications by chemical vapor deposition is described. Densities up to $1.4 \times 10^{13}$ cm-2have been achieved by maintaining a small nanotube diameter. The process integration devices is reviewed.
