Intellectual Ventures works on mosquito laser

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS
From ROBERT A. GUTH at careerjournal :

Its [SDI, "Star Wars} rebirth as a bug killer came thanks to Nathan Myhrvold, a former Microsoft Corp. executive who now runs Intellectual Ventures LLC., a company that collects patents and funds inventions. His old boss, Mr. Gates, had asked him to explore new ways of combating malaria. At a brainstorming session in 2007, Dr. Wood, the Star Wars architect, suggested using lasers on mosquitoes.
