WIRELESS AD HOC NANOSCALE NETWORKING

Wireless ad hoc communication on the nanoscale will enable precise mechanisms for directly interacting with cells. Information may be sent to and from specific cells within the body, allowing detection and healing of diseases on the cellular scale. The technology has continued to focus on utilizing CNT networks as semiconducting material to construct a single transistor or field effect transistor (FET). Microtubules are cytoskeletal biopolymers that play an important role in all phases of the cell's life cycle. Carbon nanotubes are suggested to be the closest nonbiological nonbiological counterpart of microtubules. Quantum phenomena are another avenue that industry is exploring for small-scale networking. The technology will determine the fundamental relationship between computation and communication.
