Random lasers from peanut kernel doped with birch leaf–derived carbon dots (degruyterbrill.com)

Would this work on peanuts?

Why are they random lasers?

sounds like a Brian Jacques superweapon

Am I having a stroke? Reading the title makes my head hurt.

I just want to know: is the peanut okay?

Yes, but if a chicken and a half laid an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds off a dill pickle?

I skimmed through the article looking for pictures of trees with laser beams shooting out in every direction. Much disappoint.

first laser people have lethal allergies against...
