Biosecurity

Laser zaps mosquitoes out of the sky

Photonic Fence boxSometimes it seems like there’s not enough bug spray in the world to keep those pesky bloodsuckers away, and it can be more than just an annoyance. 

With mosquito-transmitted diseases like malaria and Zika, a bite could have dire consequences. 

A new product being developed and tested aims to zap mosquitoes out of the air before they have a chance to infect humans.

The Photonic Fence was created through the Global Good program — a collaboration between Bill Gates and Intellectual Ventures that tries to fill the gaps between technology and what people need.
