Professor Chen Yifan from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and Professor Huang Limin and research assistant Putri Santi Anwar from the Department of Chemistry of our university published a front cover article titled A Touch-Communication Framework for Drug Delivery Based on a Transient Microbot System in the IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience, an international top journal in the area of molecular communication in June, 2015. This article proposes for the first time in the world the channel model and system structure of using nanobots as the “touchable molecular communication”of information carrier. Based on this, the article analyzes and designs target drug delivery and contrast imaging system, which largely improves the efficiency and practicability of molecular communication. This article is also selected as a featured article and a top accessed article of the journal IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience, and relevant achievements are incorporated in the International Standard IEEE 1906.1.
IEEE 1906.1 is the first international standard oriented to molecular communication and nano communication, which is listed as a Best Readings in Nanoscale Communication Networks of the IEEE Communications Society.
Nano-communication network is a communication network with short distance and small size constituted by devices in nanoscale (e.g. nanobiosensor and actuator) through information sharing, to assist nano-devices complete complicated tasks in a larger special scale. These devices in nanoscale can distribute several nodes in signal organ or the whole body of human beings, form a communication network which can store, calculate and transfer information, complete information monitoring in physiology and pathology, and the delivery of drug and contrast agent, meanwhile, connect with external monitoring devices and wireless communication network to assist the treatment of mobile health data and related big data through blood injection or body implants.
The research team of Professor Chen Yifan and Huang Limin proposed biodegradable nanobots based on soluble electron devices, magnetotactic bacteria, etc., to realize the information interaction in nano-network by using nanobots as carriers to deliver information molecule, meanwhile, to conduct real-time and comprehensive tracking and intelligent control for the information transport process, which has groundbreaking meaning for the development of nano-communication network technology.
