Scientists re-engineer cell to produce laser light



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Cool, and creepy.  BBC:

The technique starts by engineering a cell that can produce a light-emitting protein that was first obtained from glowing jellyfish.

Flooding the resulting cells with weak blue light causes them to emit directed, green laser light.

The work may have applications in improved microscope imaging and light-based therapies.
