Argus 수질 센서 소개

아르구스(Argus)는 살아 있는 식물을 기반으로 한 수질 모니터링 시스템입니다. 나노센서를 잎에 주입하면 센서는 세포간극 내에 머무르게 됩니다. 이 센서는 특정 파장의 빛을 눈에 보이는 형태로 발광시킵니다. 주변 물에 포함된 납이 잎에 도달하면 발광이 약해지며, 이는 물에 불순물이 함유되어 있음을 나타냅니다. 식물은 지속적으로 물을 채취하며 전기가 전혀 필요하지 않습니다. 결과는 15분에서 2시간 이내에 나타나며, 이는 실험실 검사보다 빠른 속도입니다.

디자이너가 제공한 크레딧, 팀원 및 기술 세부 사항.

고유 특성: Argus is a living plant that continuously monitors water for heavy metal impurities, with nanosensors inside its leaves. These sensors, of the order 2nm, are injected inside the leaves and stay within the intercellular space. A living plant continuously samples water in the environment and any impurities that come along with it. Such method of detecting heavy metal toxicity is real time, showing a visible output within 15mins to 2 hours, in contrast to current lab methods.
치수 및 패키징: 457mm x 821mm x 304mm
This includes height of the plant and the imaging setup to read from inside a plant
태그: nanosensors, carbon nanotubes, living plants, DNA, water monitoring
생산 기술: Argus is a plant with DNA nanosensors inside it that detects Lead (Pb2 Heavy Metal). This novel method allows living plants to provide an optical readout of Lead in water. First, a DNAZyme is used as sensor assay inside leaves, double stranded DNA that breaks into single stranded on contact with Pb2 and binds to single walled carbon nanotubes. Following introduction of Pb2 ions, the fluorescence output is quenched and this reduction is proportional to the Lead(II) concentration.
디자인 과제: The following challenges had to be overcome to create world's first electricity free water monitoring platform.
No current real time off the shelf sensors exist for Lead toxicity monitoring. Sample testing takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks.
The chemical sensors inside plants also needed a digital connection with the digital world.
This sensor scheme did not have to use electricity, since it relies on a plant acting like a motor. Such process is then able to sample water 24 hours a day.
연구: Industrial waste management has lead to depletion of water quality in rivers in many regions. Current processes of monitoring the water quality are not realtime. Our traditional sensors have been centered around synthetic and completely artificial techniques. We propose new nanosensors providing auxiliary sensing in conjunction with the natural system of a plant. These nanosensors provide an optical readout of lead in water by relying on a plants natural function near riverbeds.
영감: This project is motivated by Flint water crisis, New Jersey school water problems, Austin Mar 2019 water advisory and many more. Current trend shows that by the time impurities are usually found in residential or agricultural, it is too late and has previously proven to be fatal. This is because continuous, cheap or off the shelf monitoring methods along river beds do not exist today. Argus on the other hand, provides an electricity free fully continuous water monitoring platform.
프로젝트 기간: This project was stated in 2017 and finished in 2019. It has been exhibited around the world such as Science Gallery Bangalore, Future of Everything WSJ Festival in NYC.
운영 흐름: Argus has nanonsensors injected inside the leaves of a living plant. A plant is like a natural motor in the environment operating twenty four hours without electricity. It continuously samples water and with that any impurities as well. Our nanosensors normally produce a visible glow of a specific light wavelength on the plant. When lead impurities from the environment come in contact with the nanosensors, this glow disappears to indicate that there are impurities in the environment.
