The bioluminescent bacteria inside sensors for spotting environmental
contaminants can now call in the cleaners themselves. Researchers at Oak Ridge

bugs glow in the presence of a particular chemical, light detectors will trigger
a radio signal alerting the cleanup crew before the spill becomes a
disaster.
