In recent years, nanotechnology has marked a milestone in the communications evolution, which has allowed the development of new applications and standardization of new materials to a nanometer scale called nanomaterials. Some of them are the graphene and its derivatives as carbon nanotubes and some compounds as the metamaterials whose properties and characteristics of electronic and physical type are fully compatible, allowing easy merging with telecommunications. And it is precisely what is intended by this article: provide a perspective from the academy to identify some kinds of nanomaterials and we resolve some questions like ¿what kind of materials are? ¿what properties do it have? ¿what classification has it? ¿what are some of the mos...
