Using a Laser to Kill a Mosquito?

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

This certainly takes the expression, "using a sledghammer to kill a mosquito" to a new level! :)
Scientists in the U.S. are developing a laser gun that could kill millions of mosquitoes in minutes.

The laser, which has been dubbed a "weapon of mosquito destruction" fires at mosquitoes once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its wings.

The laser beam then destroys the mosquito, burning it on the spot.
Next invention: a laser beam attuned to the frequency of politicos, bloggers, AIG executives, or anyone else you don't like? Ha.
