Complementary growth of information technology and CMOS electronics has advanced today’s digital world. Looking forward we will see unusual applications of them focusing on smart living and sustainable future. Transformation of materials, device architecture to waste materials can serve both purposes. Using conventional CMOS processes, we have introduced the concept of transformational electronics. While retaining high performance, energy efficiency, multi-functionality due to ultra-large-scale-integration (ULSI) density and low-cost, we bring life to formerly dead piece of electronics by integrating web into it. Our objective is to discover new application areas for electronics and web to integrate physical electronics with our daily life through cloud computation, big data, cyber-physical system, ultra-mobile computation and virtual reality. A few examples of such transformational electronics will be shown: 1) Transformation of device architecture: silicon nanotube field effect transistor and beyond. [Nano Lett. 2011, Sci. Rep. 2012, IEEE TED 2013] 2) Transformation of substrates: flexible-stretchable-transparent nanoelectronic systems. [Adv. Mat. 2014, ACS Nano 2014, Sci. Rep. 2013, Small 2013, IEEE TED 2013, APL 2013] 3) Transformation of waste materials: micro-sized microbial fuel cells and thermoelectric windows. [NPG Asia Mat. 2014, ACS Nano 2013, Sci. Rep. 2012, Nano Lett. 2012]
