First 'living' laser made from kidney cell.


Like I said. the Future is now!
Here's the first few paragraphs of the New Scientist article.
Anyone interested in Science should subscrible as standard.
It's not quite Cyclops, the sci-fi superhero from the X-Men franchise whose eyes produce destructive blasts of light, but for the first time a laser has been created using a biological cell.
The human kidney cell that was used to make the laser survived the experience. In future such "living lasers" might be created inside live animals, which could potentially allow internal tissues to be imaged in unprecedented detail.
