I'm working on a molecular sensor. Basically it's a novel sensor (hardware) that uses machine learning techniques (in software) to identify single molecules. I just finished a doctorate were I showed that the technology could compete with mass spec and has applications in high accuracy bio-molecule characterization.
- moron4hire 11y agoWhat's the interface like for testing samples? If there is any chance to do it at-range, such a tool would be amazing coupled with a camera and built into an augmented reality system.
- waiquoo 11y agoHa, that would be cool. Unfortunately, to get molecular and sub-molecular resolution on single molecules you have be pretty close to the target (nanometers/Angstroms). You basically load a liquid containing the analyte into the device and push go.
- moron4hire 11y agoMaybe one just needs to put it on a drone! EDIT: I wasn't trying to be snarky. I get excited by certain ideas and was just riffing.
- 1rst_alex 11y agowow this sounds really cool. Any way you can post the link for more info/send it to me?
- waiquoo 11y agoWorking on getting publications out, so I don't have a link just yet. So far the research has been reviewed by my committee and I'm working with a couple genomics and metabolomics groups to validate applications. I will start pursuing funding for the business side within a year.
