A portable device created in China is catching attention for working like a true “anti-aircraft cannon” against mosquitoes. Called Photon Matrix, the device uses laser technology to identify, track, and eliminate flying insects with high precision in indoor and outdoor environments. It is currently in a crowdfunding campaign on the Indiegogo site.

According to the manufacturer, the Photon Matrix is capable of detecting the size, position, and orientation of a mosquito in just 3 milliseconds. This is made possible by the use of a LiDAR system (light detection and ranging), technology similar to that employed in autonomous cars and remote sensing equipment.

Once the mosquito is identified, a second laser, guided by a galvanometer, is activated to neutralize the target. The equipment has additional millimeter-wave radar sensors to identify humans and pets, preventing the beam from hitting larger objects.

The basic model of the Photon Matrix covers a range of 3 meters at a 90-degree angle, while the Pro version extends the range to 6 meters. Both models, according to the developers, can eliminate up to 30 mosquitoes per second, even in completely dark environments, such as bedrooms at night.

Versions, Prices, and Project History

The Photon Matrix is available for pre-sale at prices ranging from US$ 468 (basic model) to US$ 629 (Pro version), with estimated final prices of US$ 697 and US$ 897, respectively. The device is still in functional prototype phase and has not yet entered mass production.

The idea of a laser system to combat mosquitoes is not new. The concept was initially suggested in 2007 by Lowell Wood, a physicist involved in the U.S. “Star Wars” project. Prototypes were made by companies like Intellectual Ventures, but so far no safe commercial version has been released.

The information was disclosed by New Atlas, which highlights that the current project is led by a single developer, Jim Wong, from Changzhou, with no formal company behind the campaign. This is his first registered project on Indiegogo, which requires caution from supporters.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

Empty beer bottle turns into sand, and the sand turns into concrete: an American city has discovered how to recycle glass locally using a solar-powered truck that crushes five tons of bottles per day in a local circular economy project.

While the US and China compete over who will first deploy a hypersonic aircraft on a commercial route, JAXA tested a 2-meter demonstrator with a hydrogen ramjet engine in 2026 under conditions equivalent to Mach 5 with an external temperature of 1832 degrees Fahrenheit.

Attention: Bolsa Família app will undergo changes and the update will reach 19 million families

While traditional driving schools lose 70% of enrollments, the Brazilian government saves R$ 1.8 billion in 5 months with the free theoretical CNH course on the official app and exempts 1.5 million candidates from the mandatory 45 hours.

While Tesla is still awaiting approval for FSD in China, XPENG deploys the country’s first mass-produced robotaxi unit in Guangzhou, with 3,000 TOPS of computing power and latency under 80 ms without LiDAR.

While traditional driving schools lose up to 70% of enrollments, the official app of the Ministry of Transport connects 172,200 accredited instructors to students via GPS and reduces the cost of the first driver’s license by up to 80%.

Soot from rocket launches remains in the atmosphere for years and has a climate impact 540 times greater than pollution emitted near the Earth’s surface. Mega constellations like Starlink will account for 42% of the space sector’s climate impact by 2029.

NASA plans a network of fuel stations in space that could reduce the cost of missions to the Moon and Mars. A satellite will be launched by a Rocket Lab rocket and will test technology that allows spacecraft to be refueled in orbit instead of carrying all the fuel from Earth.

While NASA targets astronauts on the Moon and the world is still planning how to colonize the satellite, China is preparing a 100 kg robot with wheels and mechanical arms to test lunar materials and pave the way for building a base at the lunar south pole.
