There are various types of such sensors, including gas sensors, which detect gases like oxygen or methane; ion sensors, which measure specific ions in liquids; and optical sensors, which detect changes in light caused by chemical reactions. A subset of these sensors are biosensors, which combine synthetic components with biological elements. | There are various types of such sensors, including gas sensors, which detect gases like oxygen or methane; ion sensors, which measure specific ions in liquids; and optical sensors, which detect changes in light caused by chemical reactions.

Synthetic chemical sensors offer high sensitivity, fast and accurate measurements, and are often compact and easy to integrate. However, they are often expensive, have a limited lifespan, and sometimes use non-biodegradable materials. In contrast, living biosensors like Marimo balls utilize biological reactions as their mechanism and provide a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative for many applications. This research demonstrates how Marimo balls could offer an innovative way to monitor ecosystems while preserving the environment.[[File:Meet Marimo- The Guardians of Lake Akan.wav|thumb|Audio Story- MEET MARIMO]][[File:Photo 2025-02-26 00-06-56.jpg|thumb|561x561px]]- They grow naturally, requiring no complex manufacturing. | Synthetic chemical sensors offer high sensitivity, fast and accurate measurements, and are often compact and easy to integrate.

- They act as ecological filters, absorbing impurities and contributing to water health. | - They act as ecological filters, absorbing impurities and contributing to water health. | ||
In the exibithion the project included an interactive, sensory exploration of Marimo balls. Visitors could engage with the algae through soundscapes, scientific narratives, and personal storytelling. The goal was to foster a deeper connection with these living organisms and highlight their potential as sustainable environmental allies. | In the exibithion the project included an interactive, sensory exploration of Marimo balls.
