Shoots Lasers

A disposable living laser printed on chip for drug screening

Sounds to me like a 3-D printed, engineered bacteria that shoots lasers:
disposable living laser on chip by encapsulating living bacteria inside. Strong laser emissions generated from bacteria inside the droplet will be dramatically enhanced during drug interactions.

The tiny lasers serve as a highly sensitive culture-free sensor
