what is biomedical electronics?who is the founder?

One of the founders was Dr. Wilson Greatbatch who invented the implantable heart pacemaker in 1958.  He was an electrical engineering student (Cornell) when assigned to use electrodes in animal experiments, etc.  That led to his later inventions.  He was also a fascinating speaker interested in many other fields such as cloning trees.

The science of developing materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to imbue them with special electrical and chemical properties. Nanotechnology, which deals with devices typically less than 100 nanometers in size, is expected to make a significant contribution to the fields of computer storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, manufacturing and energy.\n\nEnvisioned are all kinds of amazing products, including extraordinarily tiny computers that are very powerful, building materials that withstand earthquakes, advanced systems for drug delivery and custom-tailored pharmaceuticals as well as the elimination of invasive surgery, because repairs can be made from within the body.\n\nLarry Bock, CEO of Nanosys, who helped launch more than a dozen successful biotech companies in his career, believes that nanotech will impact even more industries than biotech. In an excerpted article from the March 2003 Nanotech Report, he compared nanotechnology with the microelectronics industry. Bock said that "a single chemistry graduate student can create novel devices and device architectures not even imaginable or manufacturable by today's biggest microprocessor companies. That is because these devices are fabricated chemically, or from the bottom up. Existing microelectronics technology is fabricated by etching wafers, or from the top down."\n\nBy 2020, scientists at Rutgers University believe that nano-sized robots will be injected into the bloodstream and administer a drug directly to an infected cell. This robot has a carbon nanotube body, a biomolecular motor that propels it and peptide limbs to orient itself. Because it is composed of biological elements such as DNA and proteins, it will be easily removed from the body. For more information, see http://bionano.rutgers.edu/Mavroidis_Final_Report.pdf.

I met one.  He was a salesmen who sold those chips.  He had one put in his arm so he could demonstrate their use.\n\nThere really isn't any reason to experiment on people for this.  The chips are the size of a large grain of rice, which is much smaller than many implanted medical devices.  They have a biologically inert covering.  Medically, they are about as harmless as anything that can be implanted.  The privacy issues are a different matter.

device structures used to build transistors or circuit elements that are smaller than 100 nanometers (nm) in size.\n\nA good size comparison is a virus, the smallest of microorganisms. But some layers of material that make up a transistor are even thinner than viruses; so an atom comes in handy as a measuring stick. For example, the transistor gate oxide, an insulating material, consists of about five atomic layers that add up to little more than one nanometer in thickness.\n\nSo what does all this have to do with the future of silicon?\n\nIn the past, industry experience seemed to indicate there is a very definite limit to the number components that can be fabricated onto a semiconductor wafer. Maybe that's true, with traditional methods. But as we get deeper into the realm of nanotechnology, materials and process recipes are changing. As these factors change, so do the limitations that the industry used to consider absolute. The world of nanotechnology recognizes that silicon as a semiconductor material is still extremely effective.\n\n\nAs research into nanotechnology continues to provide useful new materials or devices, it will be much more practical to commercialize these innovations by integrating them into silicon-based technology that has a massive existing infrastructure, rather than by trying to create an entirely new infrastructure.\n\nNanotechnology is slowly creeping into popular culture, but not in a way that most scientists will like. There is a great example in Dorian - novelist Will Self's modern reworking of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. In one scene, set in a dingy industrial building on the outskirts of Los Angeles, we find Dorian Gray and his friends looking across rows of Dewar flasks, in which the heads and bodies of the dead are kept frozen, waiting for the day when medical science has advanced far enough to cure their ailments. Although one of Dorian's friends doubts that technology will ever be able to repair the damage caused when the body parts are thawed out, another friend - Fergus the Ferret - is more optimistic. \n\n- Nanotechnology, Fergus - you're quite right; they'll have tiny hyperintelligent robots working in concert to repair our damaged bodies. \n\nThis view that nanotechnology will lead to tiny robotic submarines navigating our bloodstream is ubiquitous. Yet today's products of nanotechnology are much more mundane - stain-resistant trousers, better sun creams and tennis rackets reinforced with carbon nanotubes. There is an almost surreal gap between what the technology is believed to promise and what it actually delivers.

History of the Transistor (the "Crystal Triode")\n \n \n"Bell Labs is the birthplace of the Transistor, inventing the device that led to a communications revolution. \n\nJohn Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley discovered the transistor effect and developed the first device in December 1947, while the three were members of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ.  [To view the patent, see US Patent #02569347 which was issued on September 25, 1951]  They were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956.

Nanotech is indeed real. Have you never seen surveillance cameras the size of a dime, and what about tracking devices about the size of a cigarette lighter?Do you remember how many different components use to be in a regular am radio & tv set? Tubes, capacitors, resistors, coils, etc. are now on a pc circuit board in the form of an integrated circuit about 1"x1/4". The first computer ever devised needed many rooms to house. The laptop now is less than the sise of some wire bound notebooks high school kids carry.

When the term "nanotechnology" was independently coined and popularized by Eric Drexler, who at the time was unaware of Taniguchi's usage, it referred to a future manufacturing technology based on molecular machine systems. The premise was that molecular-scale biological analogies of traditional machine components demonstrated that molecular machines were possible, and that a manufacturing technology based on the mechanical functionality of these components (such as gears, bearings, motors, and structural members) would enable programmable, positional assembly to atomic specification (see the original reference PNAS-1981). The physics and engineering performance of exemplar designs were analyzed in the textbook NanosystemsThe National Science Foundation (a major source of funding for nanotechnology in the United States) funded researcher David Berube to study the field of nanotechnology. His findings are published in the monograph “Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz.” This published study (with a foreword by Mihail Roco, head of the NNI) concludes that much of what is sold as “nanotechnology” is in fact a recasting of straightforward materials science, which is leading to a “nanotech industry built solely on selling nanotubes, nanowires, and the like” which will “end up with a few suppliers selling low margin products in huge volumes."
