Protein-Based Toxin Nanosensors: DARPA / Army Research Laboratory - Aberdeen
PI: Craig R. Friedrich - Department of Mechanical Engineering - Engineering Mechanics
Nanosensors utilizing the unique properties of the optical protein bacteriorhodopsin and functionalized semiconductor quantum dots are being developed to detect minute concentrations of airborne toxins. A generic nanoscale sensing platform with the capability to detect a wide array of select particles will have several applications including smart munitions and enhanced soldier security. The work has resulted in an innovative method to activate bacteriorhodopsin-based sensors with quantum dots, allowing these sensors to operate on the nanoscale
