1. A resistive element, comprising:

  • a patterned region of nanofabric with a predefined area and a pre-selected sheet resistance, the nanofabric having a pre-selected temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR); and

    first and second electrical contacts contacting the patterned region of nanofabric and in spaced relation to each other,wherein a total resistance of the resistive element between the first and second electrical contacts is determined at least by the contact resistance between the patterned region of nanofabric and each of the first and second electrical contacts, and by the resistance of the patterned region of nanofabric; and

    wherein the total resistance of the resistive element is tunable to a pre-selected total resistance.
