Fieldstone Bio is building microbes that can sense everything from TNT to arsenic

In the world, the world, the world – thanks to the world satellites and Environmental sensors. But there are many things we have not seen and the field stone bio thinks that germs can change.

“They developed to feel and respond. This is always all the time around us” Brandon Fields, Fieldstone BioAn co-founder and chief science officer spoke to Techcrunch. “How do we take it and really manipulate us to benefit us?”

The technology of Saşoço has emerged from this question. The startup was established in 2023 after twisting the MIT, where Professor Chris Voigt’s laboratory has developed a way to turn germs into sensors. When scientists have programmed the program to change the color when they are found in the color of van vans or in the dirt, and the van in shelter.

Key technology from the “Chris’ laboratory, this is actually visualizing these cells really far away? ” Fielts.

Fieldstone Bio has recently grew $ 5 million in seed funds led by Ubiquita enterprises with the participation of the E14 and the LDV capital. The starting laboratory tested the technology and the financing will allow these germs to try the real world.

Each tension feels a certain combination as nitrogen in nitrogen or TNT standing in a farm area.

“We areolate germs from the environment we want to feel.” “We are building the Sensors DNA pieces, and we throw them in these different ones, and see which one of the best, which one can take the best.”

After the microbes are ready, SechOne will broadcast them using drones. After a while to feel the environment of germs – for several hours, depending on the target – the company has another Drone Images.

Images are not an ordinary air photography seen on Google Maps. On the contrary, they are taken using the things that are visible and known as a hyperspectral camera divided into 600 different colors of infrared. Field stone germs reflect a very special wavelength light, these signals can prepare AI models to search for signals receiving information.

“This is where the EU’s power is in the place, because this information can begin to use this true signals to produce very cool heating maps of the environment.”

In addition to agriculture and national security applications, the field stone is also programming to detect environmental pollutants such as ArsenIC.

“Instead of making superior core of pore soil samples of all 100 meters – and then there are a 100-meter resolution – we can get a single-inch resolution, and we can get a full map of what they really need to be cleaned.”

Gen-edited microbes, published on farms, are convinced that the people will raise the eyebrows among the people against genetic modification. The fields are in contact with the company EPA that ensures that the company complies with the rules.

The fields hope that over time, other signals of the company’s database will be great enough to be large as it can link other signals to the return by germs. These hyperspectral cameras will detect Arsenic pollution without need to spread engineered germs.

“Finally, the germ is not needed to apply in general,” he said. “You have drones, planes and satellites that collect information about chemical information on a global scale.”
