This invited talk covers fundamentals of nano-technologies, engineering and science thereby enabling unprecedented advancements and transformative development for engineered and natural (living) systems. Novel consistent, cohesive and coherent paradigms of actuation, communication, processing and sensing are considered and examined. For living organisms, we study macroscopic and microscopic systems which exhibit fundamentally distinct phenomena and utilize different mechanisms. The classical ↔ quantum-mechanical consistency must be guaranteed.
