Recent Developments in Bio-Nanoelectronics Devices: A Review

Abstract

Electronics is the science of controlling electric current. The fundamental of flow of electrons to provide energy with the electrically active components as transistors, diodes, integrated circuits and passive components and interconnected developing technologies. Here, the Nano-Bioelectronics defines the technology, which uses the salient features of Nanoelectronics and biological methods. The biological compounds have characteristic feature to behave as electronic devices and have electrical properties. These may lead to the formation of NanoBio-interfacial strategies and Nanodevices. The paper focuses on the various strategies and methods used for utilizing DNA as an electronically active device. In this paper, we are trying to elucidate the techniques for the self-assembly of devices and networks with the help of DNA Nanowires and also explains the electronic manipulations of DNA. In this review, the various applications with interesting properties are also investigated.

Transmitter and Receiver Architectures for Molecular Communications: A Survey on Physical Design With Modulation, Coding, and Detection Techniques

“…1) Miniaturization: Many novel applications promised by MC impose size restrictions on their enabling devices, requiring them to be microscale/nanoscale. Despite the avalanching progress in the nanofabrication of bioelectronics devices over the last few decades [12], fabrication of fully functional nanomachines capable of networking with each other and their surroundings in order to accomplish the desired task still evades us [13]. Added to the technical difficulties of assembling a working machine at nanoscale is the requirement of powering this machine via an energy harvesting (EH) module, which is imposed by the infeasibility of deploying a battery unit at these dimensions.…”

“…On the other hand, [253] considers a finite number of receptors uniformly distributed on the receiver surface and addresses this challenge through boundary homogenization. However, boundary homogenization for a finite number of receptors does not take into account the negative feedback of the bound receptors on the second-order binding reaction [see (12)], and thus, the developed analytical model is not able to capture the indirect effects of a finite number of receptors, e.g., receptor saturation. This is clear from their analysis, such that the discrepancy between the analytical model and the particle-based simulation results is getting larger with increasing ligand concentration.…”

“…Design Requirements for MC-Tx 1) Miniaturization: Many novel applications promised by MC impose size restrictions on their enabling devices, requiring them to be micro/nanoscale. Despite the avalanching progress in nanofabrication of bioelectronics devices over the last few decades [25], fabrication of fully functional nanomachines capable of networking with each other and their surroundings in order to accomplish a desired task still evades us [26]. Moreover, with miniaturization the surface area to volume ratio increases, causing surface charges to become dominant in molecular interactions.…”

A Potential of Halloysite Nanotube as a Delivery Vehicle in Wound Treatment

“…Nanotechnology has played an important role in environmental studies, such as pesticide sensing and cleanup, as well as pollutant removal such as nitrates [1]. Among other applications, nanomaterials are being developed for thin-film semiconductors, wearable technologies, tissue engineering, and nanoelectronic solar cells [2]. Numerous types of nanomaterials occur naturally or can be synthesised artificially by top-down and bottom-up methods for employment in a variety of applications [3].…”
