纳米网络

纳米网络是由一组几百纳米至几微米级的纳米机器连接而成的网络。它们能够执行如计算、数据储存、检测以及驱动等非常简单的任务。主要应用在生物医学、环境研究、军事技术等领域。Nanoscale Communication Networks, Bush, S. F., , Artech House, 2010. 纳米网络的通信协议是在IEEE P1906.1中定义的。

 分子 
借助分子也可以实现信息的传输和接收，有行径、流动和扩散等三种方式。

基于行径的通信方式如分子马达M. Moore, A. Enomoto, T. Nakano, R. Egashira, T. Suda, A. Kayasuga, H. Kojima, H. Sakakibara, and K. Oiwa, "A Design of a Molecular Communication System for Nanomachines Using Molecular Motors," in Proc. Fourth Annual IEEE Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications and Workshops, March 2006，可以通过大肠杆菌的趋化性来实现M. Gregori and Ian F. Akyildiz, "A New NanoNetwork Architecture using Flagellated Bacteria and Catalytic Nanomotors," IEEE JSAC (Journal of Selected Areas in Communications), Vol. 28, No. 4, pp. 612–619, May 2010.。

基于流动的通信方式如荷尔蒙通过血液实现在人体内的传播、费洛蒙长程分子通信等。L. Parcerisa and Ian F. Akyildiz, "Molecular Communication Options for Long Range Nanonetworks," Computer Networks Journal (Elsevier), Vol. 53, No. 16, pp. 2753–2766, November 2009.

基于扩散的通信方式如输送钙信号的细胞 M. T. Barros. "Ca2+-signaling-based molecular communication systems: design and future research directions". Elsevier Nano Communication Networks. vol 11, pp 103–113. 2017.  ，以及群体感应中的细菌等。"The challenge of molecular communication", Technology Review (Physics arXiv blog), 28 June 2010.
