READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS FROM (78 TO 82)

THE FUTURE OF ELECTRONIC NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE

Thanks to nanotechnologies, in particular nanoelectronics, the medical sector is about to undergo deep changes by
exploiting the traditional strengths of the semiconductor industry – miniaturization and integration. While conventional
electronics have already found many applications in biomedicine – medical monitoring of vital signals, biophysical
studies of excitable tissues, implantable electrodes for brain stimulation, pacemakers, and limb stimulation – the use
of nanomaterials and nanoscale applications will bring a further push towards implanted electronics in the human
body.

In previous Nanowerk Spotlights we have already covered numerous research advances in this area: The
development of a nanobioelectronic system that triggers enzyme activity and, in a similar vein, the electrically triggered
drug release from smart nanomembranes; an artificial retina for color vision; nanomaterial-based breathalyzers as
diagnostic tools; nanogenerators to power self-sustained biosystems and implants; future bio-nanotechnology might
even use computer chips inside living cells.

A lot of nanotechnology work is going on in the area of brain research. For instance the use of a carbon nanotube
rope to electrically stimulate neural stem cells; nanotechnology to repair the brain and other advances in fabricating
nanomaterial-neural interfaces for signal generation.

A bit further out, and actually beyond the scope of medicine are efforts to build artificial brains – something that is
called neuromorphic engineering: a new interdisciplinary discipline that includes nanotechnologies and whose goal is
to design artificial neural systems with physical architectures similar to biological nervous systems.

International cooperation in this field has also picked up. Just recently, scientists have formed a global alliance for
nanobioelectronics to rapidly find solutions for neurological disorders; the EuroNanoBio project is a Support Action
funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union; and ENIAC, the European Technology Platform
on nanoelectronics, has decided to make the development of medical applications one of its main objectives.

In a new perspective article in the July 31, 2012, online edition of ACS Nano ("The Smartest Materials: The Fut ure of
Nanoelectronics in Medicine"), Tzahi Cohen-Karni (a researcher in Kohane's lab), Robert Langer, and Daniel S.
Kohane provide an overview of where did nanotechnology start in this field, and nanoelectronics' potential in the
biomedical sciences.
