Quantum transport properties of intermolecular nanotube contacts are investigated. We find that atomic structure in the contact region plays important roles and resistance of contacts varies strongly with geometry and nanotube chirality. Nanotube end-end contacts have low resistance and show negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior. Contact resistance can be dramatically decreased by exerting small pressure/force between the tubes if the contact is commensurate. Significant variation and nonlinearity of contact resistance may lead to new device applications.
