Scientists develop ‘WMD’ for bugs

Scientists behind the 1980s anti-missile programme in the United States have helped to develop a laser that locks onto and kills airborne insects, in a bid to tackle the scourge of malaria.

It is thought that the device, dubbed the Weapon of Mosquito Destruction (WMD), could be used against mosquitoes, which kill almost one million people around the world every year by spreading malaria.

The research in Seattle, reported in the Wall Street Journal, has been funded by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates through his charitable foundation.

The WMD laser works by detecting the audio frequency created by the beating of mosquito wings. A computer triggers the laser beam which burns the wings off the mosquito and kills it.
