MIT technology can see microbes from 90 meters away
SMRTR summary
MIT researchers developed a breakthrough system that uses genetically engineered bacteria to detect molecules from 90 meters away using hyperspectral drone cameras, potentially revolutionizing environmental monitoring across entire ecosystems. The team created two bacterial strains that produce specific pigments visible to specialized cameras that capture hundreds of light wavelengths, successfully identifying the microbes during field tests at a Massachusetts military facility.
