Sending messages via molecules can aid communication underground, underwater or inside the body

Scientists have created a molecular communications system for the transmission of messages and data in challenging environments such as tunnels, pipelines, underwater and within the body.The technique has a wide range of applications in environments where electromagnetic waves cannot be used, for example in underground structures such as tunnels, pipelines or in underwater environments.Molecular signalling is a common feature of the plant and animal kingdom - insects for example use pheromones for long-range signalling - but to date continuous data have not been transmitted.
