🇨🇳 Chinese scientists have created a breakthrough technology for drones, allowing them to charge from a laser directly in flight. Scientists from the Civil Aviation University of China developed a wing-mounted receiver using a tandem architecture: perovskite cells capture green laser light, while a thermoelectric generator converts heat into energy. 🔬 Key innovations: - Use of antimony triselenide nanocrystals to protect against overheating up to 90°C. - Integration of air cooling into the wing structure to increase efficiency. - The drone operated without power drops at 7820 rpm during tests. Despite the success, experts point out risks: difficulty aiming the laser in turbulence and safety threats. In the context of the ban on Chinese drones in the US (2025), this technology could become a new ace for Beijing. 🚁⚡️
