MoMiKoSy: Development of a Molecular, Microfluidic Communication System

Projects' Logo: MoMiKoSy

Name of participant: Pit Hofmann

Project’s name: Entwicklung eines molekularen, mikrofluidischen Kommunikationssystems (MoMiKoSy)

Project description:

Molecular communication is an alternative communication paradigm that is fundamentally different from conventional communication systems that are based on electromagnetic waves. Instead of electromagnetic signals, chemical signals are used to transmit information. The use of chemical signals is particularly promising for applications in biological and nanoscale environments, as it enables the integration of living organisms or synthetic nano-machines into future communication networks.

An essential, visionary field of application is the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) – an expansion to the biological, chemical and nanoscale domains of the Internet of Things (IoT). In this context, for instance, tiny sensors or synthetic nanomachines could communicate with each other to capture, process and forward data in biological or chemical systems. Research in the field of molecular communication is primarily focused on information theory and communication technology. This includes, among others, the analysis of channel capacity, error correction mechanisms and the development of suitable modulation schemes for molecular communication.

The project described here focuses on the development of a prototype molecular communication platform based on microfluidic approaches. Microfluidics describes the transportation and manipulation of fluids in micro-scale channels – a fundamental concept for the targeted control of small fluid volumes.

The project comprises in detail:

  1. Development of microfluidic chips that serve as central components of the communication platform.
  2. Simulations to test the chips’ functionality and usability.
  3. 3D printing and testbed evaluation to validate the developed microfluidic structures in a real environment.

The aim is to create a functional foundation for molecular communication systems that can be used in biomedical applications in the long run.
