Using E. coli bacteria to detect deadly landmines safely
The biosensors are dispersed over the target area, where they sniff out the chemical signature of buried explosives and become luminescent.

The biosensors are dispersed over the target area, where they sniff out the chemical signature of buried explosives and become luminescent.

New molecularly engineered E. coli bacteria emit a bioluminescence visible to the naked eye, enabling detection of landmines from afar.

Israel’s 4M Analytics has a minefield-location intelligence solution using machine learning, historic and dynamic datasets and software-guided robots.

Researchers remotely detect buried landmines using fluorescent bacteria encased in polymeric beads illuminated by a laser-based scanning system.

Following a peace pact ending five years of conflict, Colombia seeks Israeli expertise in ridding the country of deadly hidden ordnance.
