• Plans for Horizon2020
Department of Communications Engineering
Nanotechnology
• Concept was first proposed by Richard Feyman in
1959 in his nobel prize acceptance speech
•
“Plenty of room at the bottom”
• Nanotechnology are devices on the scale of the
order of one billionth of a meter(10-9)
• Example materials: Graphene, Nanocrystallites,
Nanoparticles
• Numerous healthcare applications
• Improved monitoring of chronic diseases
• Accurate drug delivery
• Nanorobots that can perform surgery
• Other applications include Aeronautics,
Environmental Science
Department of Communications Engineering
Nanomachine to treat cancer
• Issue with current chemotherapy is
that drugs kill good cells
• Aim – deliver drug to targeted
areas
•
Cut the dosage down by hundred –
thousand times
• Developed at the University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
• Honeycomb nanostructure that
holds the drug particles
• Valves releases particles.
Numerous approaches:
•
•
Chemical agent

DNA Nanorobot
• Developed at Wyss Institute
• Robotic device developed from
DNA
•
DNA origami – 3D shapes created
from folding DNA
• Two halves connected with a
hinge, and shut using DNA latches
• The latches can be designed to
recognize certain cell proteins and
disease markers
• Hold molecules with encoded
instructions (antibody fragments)
•
Used on two types of cancer cells
(leukemia and lymphoma)

Problems and Challenges
• Scale of nanodevices allows us to….
• Reach hard to access areas…..
• Access vital information at a whole new level (molecular
information)…..
• Devices of the future will be built from nanomaterials
• Limitation – limited functionalities!!
• Communication and networking between nanomachines would further
advance their capabilities and functionalities
Department of Communications Engineering
What is the answer…..???
Department of Communications Engineering
Nano Communications!
• Two broad Areas…………
o Electromagnetic (EM) Nano Communications
o Molecular Communications

I. F. Akyildiz, F. Brunetti, C. Blasquez, “Nanonetworks: A New Communication Paradigm”, Computer Networks, 52, 2008
• Sender nanomachines encode information into information molecules
(e.g. DNA, proteins, peptides)
• Information can be transmitted through diffusion or active transport
• Ability to create communication systems and networks using biological
components and processes that are found in nature
• Interdisciplinary research (nanotechnology, communication technology,
biochemistry, molecular biology)
Department of Communications Engineering
Diffusion-based Molecular
Communications
• Communication is performed
through diffusion of molecules
• Information is embedded into
the molecules
• Ideally this is suited to fluidic
medium

ACM, vol. 54, no. 11, pp. 84-89, November 2011.

Smart Organ
• Through tissue engineering we
can develop various body parts
•
Tissues -> Organs (skin, bone)
• Using nanomaterial scaffolds,
we can grow cells on the
scaffold into tissue
• Utilizing 3D bioprinting to
develop organs
• Challenge – integration to the
existing system within the body
• Integrate sensors into the tissue
(Smart tissue)
