Abstract: ABSTRACT PASSIVE MECHANICAL EVENT RECORDING PLATFORM WITH CELL-FREE GENETIC CIRCUIT AND MOLECULAR MEMORY A passive mechanical event recording platform (100) includes a mechanical threshold translation module (110) configured to remain inactive below a predetermined activation threshold and to transition to an activated state when an applied mechanical stimulus exceeds the threshold. A sealed molecular trigger reservoir (120) coupled to the module (110) contains a molecular trigger species and releases the molecular trigger species upon activation. A stabilized cell-free transcription-translation matrix (130) positioned adjacent to the reservoir (120) receives the released molecular trigger species and contains a synthetic genetic circuit (140) activated by the trigger species. A molecular memory element (150) of the circuit (140) establishes a persistent activated state maintained after cessation of the mechanical stimulus. A reporter system (160) expressed under control of the circuit (140) generates a visible output indicative of a recorded mechanical event.(Fig. 1)
