Re: [Sci.nanotech] Communicating with nanotech

Means of communicating with (active) nanotech is something worth
considering. While the issue of how humans get information to
the nanotech is very interesting, the question of how the
nanotech gives information to humans is a definite issue. In
particular, if some sort of alarm or warning needs to be sent.

There are large sections of "Nanosystems" by Drexler and Freitas'
"Nanomedicine" series that are devoted to means by which to
communicate with nanomachines (in both directions). The area is pretty
extensively studied -- I'd begin by reading the existing literature if
you're interested in the topic.
