I've seen the Photomolecular effect reported on a few times lately
The original paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.19832
Seems like it'd be a useful effect on the face of it, but it's all just hype at the moment, & not a lot to back it up that I can find
So I'm curious if this will be implemented in any way outside of a lab setting
