(Israel21c) John Jeffay - Researchers in Israel are using bacteria to detect landmines. They've developed tiny pellet-sized biosensors based on E. coli. The biosensors are dispersed over the target area, where they sniff out the buried explosives and become luminescent. A drone then photographs them and reveals the location of any landmine.

It can be cheaply deployed anywhere in the world to safely detect a variety of hidden explosives and do so more accurately than current alternatives," said Gideon Lapidoth, CEO of Enzymit.
