Nanomachine Detecting Microbiotics
History once tells antibiotics were invincible knights, until a fierce dragon befalled.
Drug resistance is now sweeping around the world in a ferocious trend. In natural environment, many antibiotic substances are emitted directly into river in their active state, which caused tremendously challenges on human health and environment. Thus, this year we USTC develop NDM, a hardware trying to detect those molecules and hold back this situation.
CACCI
To solve the resistance problem, we recruit CACCI to aid our knights. CACCI's engineered bacteria that are attached to a membrane have the chemotaxis ability, which means CACCI's fantastic membrane have the ability to perform a deformation corresponding to the contribution of the antibiotics. Then it's time for CACCI's optics magic. Using the interference, the knights' amount can be certained.Then we are able to redeploy our knights, making them efficiently kill the enemy rather than strengthen them.
SPRING
Spring, which is named after its inventer, is CACCI's sidekick. He helps CACCI in three aspects, which are the optical aspect, the hardware aspect and the software aspect. Using Michelson Interferometer,the optical part, Spring transforms the shape change of CACCI's membrane into the change of interference fringe. Spring's hardware, based on Raspberry–Pi, allows spring to take photos or videos of the fringe. At last, the software can analyse them and transmit the results to PC. CACCI depends on Spring.
ROSE
Meanwhile, we recruit ROSE to ensure our success. Two kinds of engineered bacteria make ROSE a wonderful director. Her mind is sufficiently logical, just like those three circuits we bulit for her,which allow her to know how many antibiotics are out of there,even when there are just trace of them. With the data provided by ROSE, the same mission as CACCI's can be done. Although ROSE may be a little slower than CACCI, but her traditional way becomes our insurance.
