Molecular Communication A Nanotechnological Paradigm

The importance of communication technology in day-to-day life and the impact of state-of-the-art miniaturization at the nanoscale on all-round progress are well recognized. Molecular communication, which is ubiquitous in natural biological systems, is a hybrid of these. We have described the basic concepts involved, the architectural aspects, and the applications of this emerging area of immense interest. The applications, both realized in practice as well as envisioned, cover biomedical (mainly healthcare), environmental, industrial and information technology realms.
