Globalization has transformed our lives and society. Additionally, the fourth industrial revolution will change the world dramatically. The impact will be far greater than its three predecessors. Specifically, many existing jobs, traditional universities, technologies, and industries, will be affected, and some may even disappear. Together with the pandemic, they will accelerate the pace of digital transformation and create new opportunities. In this new era, the relationship between university and industry could take new forms. Their collaboration plays an increasingly important role in creating new frontiers, ideas, knowledge, and growth areas. Therefore, higher education is no longer about knowledge creation and transfer. It must integrate global perspectives into its teaching and research mission to remain relevant and competitive.","PeriodicalId":44724,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine","volume":"17 1","pages":"5-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44093942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the communication within and between bacterial species can illuminate the how, as well as the why of numerous interactions that enable their collective behavior. In this position paper, we first discuss bacterial molecular communication in multihop settings. We address this concept in the context of local and global quorum sensing (QS) within a colony and then consider induced QS at a distance between different, spatially separated communities. We then investigate how the information is shared between cells when forming a quorum, particularly the intertwined relationship between cells’ observations, actions, and the state of their surrounding environment. Lastly, we extend to multi-species systems where all species coexist and interact, leveraging concepts from multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communications. Community robustness and resiliency is also explored.","PeriodicalId":44724,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine","volume":"17 1","pages":"32-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44560158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the wireless communications community, the development of miniature transceivers and antennas that operate in traditionally uncharted frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum opens the door to transformative applications across scales (from nano to macro), domains (biological and non-biological), and realms (from classical to quantum). In this article, the state of the art in electromagnetic nanoscale communication and networks is presented by following a bottom-up approach. After describing some innovative applications of this technology, the fundamental physical properties and capabilities of nano-transceivers and nano-antennas at optical and terahertz frequencies are reviewed. The main phenomena affecting the propagation of the generated signals are then presented both from the wave and particle perspectives. Starting from the hardware capabilities and the channel peculiarities, tailored communication and networking solutions are discussed, all defining a roadmap to transform fundamental research into socially-meaningful applications.","PeriodicalId":44724,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine","volume":"17 1","pages":"21-31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42301807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the rapid development of quantum computers, some secure communication protocols based on certain mathematical problems will face a significant danger, and quantum properties can be used to construct quantum secure communication and quantum cryptography that can achieve unconditional security. Among many topics of quantum cryptography, quantum secret sharing (QSS) is an important and challenging issue that provides scenarios to store highly sensitive, important, and confidential information. In this article, we systematically illustrate the development of QSS and how it operates, as well as its challenging issues and future directions.","PeriodicalId":44724,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine","volume":"17 1","pages":"38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48356917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
