This document discusses realizing an Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) by connecting physical objects at the nano scale. It outlines challenges like developing nano communication methods. Two approaches are electromagnetic nano communications between devices 2-6 micrometers in size using nano antennas and processors. Molecular communications transmit information using biomolecules between nano machines. Potential applications include new healthcare monitoring with nano sensors embedded on clothing communicating via nano networks and electromagnetic or molecular means. Realizing an IoNT could help address problems in fields like healthcare and building smart cities.

5. Internet of Things (IoT)
• The internet of things (IoT) is a network of physical objects that can
interact with each other to share information and take action.
• The term was first proposed by Kevin Ashton in 1999.
• The concept of IoT first became popular at the Auto-ID center, MIT.
• IoT can also be pronounced as Machine to Machine (M2M)
Technology.

6. Nanotechnology
• Concept was first proposed by Richard Feyman in 1959.
• Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic or
molecular scale.
• Nanotechnology are devices on the scale of the order of one billionth
of a meter(10-9)
• Example materials: Graphene, Nanocrystallites, Nanoparticles

7. Nano Communications
• Nano devices
• Not needed to peer to peer communication.
• Embedding Nano sensors
• Nano sensors are interconnected with Nano networks. That are used
to perform very simple tasks such as computing, data storing, and
sensing.

8. Internet of Nano Things (IoNT)
• The internet of Nano things (IoNT) is a Nano scale network of
physical objects that can interact with each other by Nano
communication.
• Two broad Areas…………
Electromagnetic (EM) Nano Communications
Molecular Communications

9. Electromagnetic (EM) Nano Communications
• Communication among Nano devices ranging in the size from 2 to 6
micrometers.
• The components antennas, EM transceivers, and processors are used
that are also built at Nano scale.
• Antennas are built from grapheme material and communicate in THz
band.

10. Molecular Communication
• Sender Nano machines encode information into information molecules
(e.g. DNA, proteins, peptides)
• Information can be transmitted within a DNA component.
• Ability to create communication systems and networks using biological
components and processes that are found in nature.
• Routing at micro gateway in molecular Nano networks is query based.

13. EM Communication
• EM communication allow the interconnection of almost everything in
our daily life in our working place.

14. Conclusion
In this paper the researcher tried explain the implement of Nano
network in our daily life that how could be nanotechnology networking
helpful to overcome our severe problems as per related to their
respective fields.

15. Future Recommendations
• Nanotechnology approaches to solve a wide range of problems in
medical technology.
• Nanotechnology networking can be embedded in constructing smart
cities.
