Engineer Smiths buoyed by demand for baggage scanners
Smiths Group forecasts annual sales growth towards the top end of its guidance range, thanks to a robust performance by its sensors business. The FTSE 100 engineering company reported organic turnover increased by 10.6 per cent in the quarter ending 3 May, bringing total revenue growth to 9.6 per cent over the first nine months of its financial year. Its Smiths Detection arm, which makes explosives detectors and baggage scanners, scored 'strong double-digit' percentage rate over the quarter on solid demand from the aviation sector. Smiths also achieved double-digit growth from its Interconnect segment, whose products include radio frequency components, thanks to contracts from aerospace and defence firms and a recovery in the semiconductor market. For the full year, Smiths expects its organic revenues to rise by 6 to 8 per cent and its margins to expand by around 40 to 60 basis points. All four of its businesses scored higher sales, but its John Crane arm only achieved a marginal rise due to a cyber incident in January that Smiths said had a 'longer than expected impact' on growth. Consequently, the London-based company believes the division's second-half performance will be 'broadly in line with the first half'. Smiths expects its full-year revenue to increase by 6 to 8 per cent on an organic basis and its margins to expand by about 40 to 60 basis points. The firm is currently planning a major restructuring amidst pressure from activist investors like Engine Capital to break up the business and boost shareholder returns. It expects to announce the sale of its Interconnect arm by the end of 2025, followed by either a demerger or disposal of its Smiths Detection segment. Roland Carter, chief executive of Smiths, said: 'We are executing on the strategic actions we announced in January with pace and purpose to unlock our inherent value and become a premium-rated company.' He added: 'The sale process for Smiths Interconnect is firmly underway and preparatory work for the Smiths Detection separation process is also moving forwards.' Smiths also declared that it anticipates 'limited' impact from tariffs owing to its 'local-for-local model.' About 45 per cent of its sales are US-generated. It told investors it was 'closely monitoring' the potential impact of tariffs on demand and had not observed 'any material changes in customer behaviour to date.' Smiths Group shares were 4.7 per cent up at £21.50 just before midday on Tuesday, making them the FTSE 100 Index's second-biggest riser.

Aeva Technologies supplying sensors for Airbus autonomous gate taxi tests
SAN FRANCISCO : Aeva Technologies said on Monday it is supplying sensors to a subsidiary of European aircraft manufacturer Airbus that is working to develop planes that can taxi to airport gates autonomously. Aeva, founded by former Apple and Nikon engineers, makes a lidar sensor that can map a three-dimensional view of the area around the vehicle and detect how fast distant objects are moving. It said it is supplying those sensors to Airbus UpNext, which will use the sensors on a testing truck and an A350-1000 flight test aircraft at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in France. Aeva did not disclose financial details of the deal. Aeva CEO Soroush Salehian said the deal will involve several fitting sensors on the initial test plane. "We're all working toward automation and this is a new extension for us into aerospace. It's focused on the here and now - improving airport efficiency and reducing the workload on pilots," he told Reuters on Monday.

Fieldstone Bio is building microbes that can sense everything from TNT to arsenic
The world is awash in data about, well, the world — thanks to satellites and environmental sensors. But there's still a lot we can't see, and Fieldstone Bio thinks microbes can change that. 'They've evolved to sense and respond to information. It's just trillions of calculations going on at all times all around us,' Brandon Fields, Fieldstone Bio's co-founder and chief science officer, told TechCrunch. 'How do we take that and actually manipulate that to gain benefits for us?' Fieldstone's technology emerged from that question. The startup was founded in 2023 after spinning out of MIT, where professor Chris Voigt's lab had developed a way to turn microbes into sensors. The scientists programmed the microbes to change color when they encountered something of interest, whether it be nutrients in soil or landmines hidden in the dirt, and then figured out how to detect them. 'The key technology out of Chris' lab is this idea of, 'How do we actually visualize these cells from really far away?'' Fields said. Fieldstone Bio recently raised $5 million in seed funding led by Ubiquity Ventures with participation from E14 and LDV Capital, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. The startup has been testing its technology in the lab, and the funding will let it test those microbes in the real world. Each strain is tailored to sense a particular compound, such as nitrogen on a farm field or TNT residue from a landmine. 'We isolate microbes from the environments we want to sense,' Fields said. 'We build our sensors the DNA pieces, and we just drop them into these different ones and see which ones behave the best, which ones can last the longest.'

Exhibit at TechCrunch Sessions: AI Secure your spot at TC Sessions: AI and show 1,200+ decision-makers what you've built — without the big spend. Available through May 9 or while tables last. Berkeley, CA | REGISTER NOW Once the microbes are ready, Fieldstone will broadcast them using drones. After the microbes have some time to sense their environment — several hours to days, depending on the target — the company will have another drone snap photos of the area. The images aren't the usual aerial photography seen on Google Maps. Rather, they're taken using what's known as a hyperspectral camera, which divide visible and infrared light into as many as 600 different colors. Because Fieldstone's microbes will reflect light at a very specific wavelength, it can train AI models to look for those signals amid a torrent of data. 'That's where the power of AI comes in, because we can start using that information to tease out these really faint signals to produce really cool heat maps of the microbe sensing the environment,' Fields said. In addition to agriculture and national security applications, Fieldstone is also programming microbes to detect environmental contaminants like arsenic, CEO Patrick Stone said. 'Instead of going to do core soil samples over every 100 feet — and then you have 100 foot resolution — we could get a one-inch resolution and really map out exactly where they need to go clean up stuff,' he said. Gene edited microbial sensors broadcast over farm fields are sure to raise the eyebrows among people who oppose genetic modification. Fields said that the company has been in contact with the EPA to ensure that the company follows regulations. Fields said that, over time, he hopes the company's database will become large enough that it can train models to associate other signals in the environment with whatever data is returned by the microbes. That would allow hyperspectral cameras to detect, say, arsenic contamination without needing to spread the engineered microbes. 'Eventually, you don't need to apply the microbe at all,' Fields said. 'You have drones, planes, and satellites now collecting information about chemical information on a global scale.'

Aeva sells 6% stake and inks manufacturing deal, shares rise
SAN FRANCISCO :Aeva Technologies, a firm founded by former Apple engineers that makes sensors used in factories and self-driving vehicles, on Wednesday said it had sold a 6 per cent stake for $50 million to an unnamed strategic partner that will also handle some of its manufacturing in the future. Aeva's lidar sensors help factory equipment and vehicles gain a three-dimensional view of their surroundings. Aeva's version of the technology can also detect how fast objects are moving, which can help cars determine if an object in the distance is stationary or moving. Aeva did not name the partners, describing it as a "technology focused affiliate of a Global Fortune 500 company" that will also help it manufacture sensors for passenger vehicles. Aeva shares were up 3 per cent after the announcement. The company has partnerships with firms such as Daimler Truck AG for autonomous driving as well as deals with Japanese and German firms to use the sensors to detect defects in objects moving down automated manufacturing lines.
