A Pathfinder Challenge

Our project

Using state-of-the-art 3D nanoprinting technology and nano-scale size sensors, we aim to create a mini-heart that pumps autonomously and measure the output flow. 

 

Together with the mini-heart we aim to create a bio-robot that can swim autonomously and can be used as a detector for environmental toxins.
