WINT Design Lab visualizes quantum biology with MESMER01 biosensor
So, there's this innovative company called WINT Design Lab, which was started in 2019 by Robin Hoske and Felix Rasehorn in Berlin. They’ve partnered with Mimotype Technologies GmbH to create MESMER01, a fascinating project that merges quantum biology with industrial design. At its core is Mimotype's unique hybrid bio-optoelectronic chip, which cleverly uses fluorescent proteins and semiconductor materials to operate at room temperature, a big deal since most of this tech typically requires super cold conditions. This chip could be used in things like wearables and medical implants. WINT designed an engaging circular mechanism to activate the chip, making the analysis feel almost like a ritual. They've also built a visual brand for Mimotype to help explain these complex ideas to everyone.
Key facts
- WINT Design Lab was founded in 2019 by Robin Hoske and Felix Rasehorn.
- MESMER01 is a collaboration between WINT Design Lab and Mimotype Technologies GmbH.
- Mimotype's chip uses magnetically sensitive fluorescent proteins and semiconductor substrates.
- The chip operates at room temperature, unlike most quantum biology that requires cryogenic conditions.
- Potential applications include wearable biosensors, implantable diagnostics, and soft neuromorphic devices.
- The device features a circular opening mechanism that rotates to expose a display.
- The interaction is described as 'almost ritualistic' by the design team.
- WINT also created a visual language and brand system for Mimotype.
