A research team at Osaka University’s Institute of Laser Engineering has created a blue laser diode gun that could target and lock on to insects’ weak spots before firing a precision beam.
Led by Professors Hiroshi Fuji and Kazuhisa Yamamoto, the team first determined the spots of the insects such as the moth, desert locusts, and tobacco cutworm is most vulnerable to a laser blast.
This laser gun could become a game-changer as the tobacco cutworm is notoriously resistant to pesticides.
Using this technology, the concern of insects becoming resistant to pesticides would no longer exist, and the damage such chemicals cause to other wildlife and the environment would also be eliminated.
Also, with the efficient termination of pests near agricultural areas worldwide, an estimated US$200 billion in agricultural products could be saved, preventing food shortages.
