By interconnecting nanomachines and forming nanonetworks, the capacities of singlenanomachines are expected to be enhanced, as the ensuing information exchange will allow themto cooperate towards a common goal. Nowadays, systems normally use electromagnetic signals toencode, send and receive information, however, in a novel communication paradigm, moleculartransceivers, channel models or protocols use molecules. This article presents the current developmentsin nanomachines along with their future architecture to better understand nanonetworkscenarios in biomedical applications. Furthermore, to highlight the communication needs betweennanomachines, two applications for nanonetworks are also presented: i) a new networking paradigm,called the Internet of NanoThings, that allows nanoscale devices to interconnect with existingcommunication networks, and ii) Molecular Communication, where the propagation of chemicalcompounds like drug particles, carry out the information exchange.
