An old weapon from science fiction posits a hand-held laser used to ionize the air, then firing an electric charge down the ionized path to the target: the "electrolaser." While prototypes have been around for a while, this one guides a lightning bolt to the target...and you don't even have to be all that accurate, since the bolt will automatically deviate to the target, assuming it has a lower resistance:

Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
