Nanorobot shows promise as humidity sensor thanks to use of bacterial spore
Researchers at the University of Illinois-Chicago have developed a nanoparticle-based robot that can detect humidity thanks to the use of bacterial spores and a form of carbon known as graphene.
Bacteria form spores that go into a dormant state and await the right external conditions so that they can become active once again. Because it is only an atom thick, graphene is being widely studied and deployed in all sorts of advanced sensors--it is a truly two-dimensional surface. In addition, it has excellent flexibility and conductivity.
