Scientists develop laser tech inspired by photosynthesis for sustainable space power and Earth use.

Scientists at Heriot-Watt University are developing a laser technology inspired by photosynthesis that converts sunlight into laser beams. This could provide a sustainable power source for space exploration without the need for new parts from Earth and offer a clean energy source on Earth. Funded by the European Innovation Council and Innovate UK, the international project, APACE, aims to test a prototype within three years.
