ABSTRACT
The use of nanobots and in-body nano communication techniques offer manifold options for next generation health care and precision medicine. Scientific progress allows to place nanobots in the human circulatory system and enabled them to exchange data and information among each other as well as to external gateway systems. One of the frequently asked questions is how to identify the optimal number of bots for a task, monitoring frequencies, and communication technologies. In this paper, we introduce and study the age of information (AoI) as a comprehensive metric for describing the performance of in-body nano communication networks. We use the AoI concept in an in-body measurement scenario. Our results clearly demonstrate that AoI is a very helpful tool to study the performance of in-body nano communication networks.

A simulation framework for connecting in-body nano communication with out-of-body devices
NanoCom '20: Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and CommunicationWe present a novel simulation framework bridging the gap between in-body nano communication and out-of-body body area network (BAN). We assume nanobots freely flowing within the blood system. Their mobility can be modeled using the BloodVoyagerS module. ...

In this paper, we review nano networks from two aspects briefly: Nano networks with short range communication Nano networks with long range ...
UV nano embossing for polymer nano structures with non-transparent mold insert
In recent years, UV nano embossing (or imprinting) process has been widely used for mass replication of nano structures. Most of the UV embossing machines use a UV transparent mold insert (e.g. quartz or glass). However, when a master of nano structures ...
