Recent developments in nanotechnology herald nanometer-sized devices expected to bring light to a number of groundbreaking applications. Communication with and among nanodevices will be needed for unlocking the full potential of such applications. As the traditional communication approaches cannot be directly applied in nanocommunication, several alternative paradigms have emerged. Among them, electromagnetic nanocommunication in the terahertz (THz) frequency band is particularly promising, mainly due to the breakthrough of novel materials such as graphene. For this reason, numerous research efforts are nowadays targeting THz band nanocommunication and consequently nanonetworking. As it is expected that these trends will continue in the future, we see it beneficial to summarize the current status in these research domains. In this survey, we therefore aim to provide an overview of the current THz nanocommunication and nanonetworking research. Specifically, we discuss the applications envisioned to be supported by nanonetworks operating in the THz band, together with the requirements that such applications pose on the underlying nanonetworks. Subsequently, we provide an overview of the current contributions on the different layers of the protocol stack, as well as the available channel models and experimentation tools. As the final contribution, we identify a number of open research challenges and outline several potential future research directions.

Silicon-based terahertz (THz) integrated circuits (ICs) have made rapid progress over the past decade. The demonstrated basic component performance, as well as the maturity of design tools and methodologies, have made it possible to build high-complexity THz integrated systems. Such implementations are undoubtedly highly attractive due to their low cost and high integration capability; however, their unique characteristics, both advantageous and disadvantageous, also call for research investigations into unconventional systematic architectures and novel THz applications. In this paper, we review Manuscript

“…which basically determines the maximum frequency that an IC can be safely designed to operate [31]. The highest f max reported for the CMOS technology is less than 0.35 THz [34], which challenges the IC design above 0.25 THz, despite the fact that CMOS is offering a high level of integration [35].…”

We present an overview of the emerging and enabling miniature MEMS-based components for the terahertz frequencies. The usage of miniature MEMS integrated within the terahertz components is an uprising field of research, which offers reconfigurability, improved performance, and ability to perform unprecedented functions that cannot be achieved using the state-of-the-art semiconductor and optical technologies. In this paper, we discuss the recent progress and future of miniature MEMS-based reconfigurable components and present examples including reconfigurable sources, detectors, metamaterials, and guided-wave components.
