According to Edinburgh University scientists, a new strain of bacteria (produced using a technique called BioBricking) can be sprayed onto local affected areas or air dropped over entire fields of mines. Within a few hours the bacteria strain begins to glow green wherever traces of explosive chemicals are present.
Pretty amazing.
