Examples of Communication Systems from Nature
"For a communications engineer, nature is full of examples of communication systems. Many of these systems use molecules for signaling, control, and regulation. Molecular communication is a new field that applies communication engineering tools to molecular signaling. Potential applications in medicine include treating neurological disorders, preventing cancerous tumors' growth, and reducing the impact of other diseases arising from ineffective or inadvertent signaling. Other opportunities include advances in environmental monitoring and the design of lab-on-a-chip systems.
