Solar powered wasp
So I found out about this wasp that can turn sunlight into energy. I don't know enough to say much about it so I will just post the wikipedia page:'
and ask: Does anyone here know if it would be possible to do this with a human? How hard would it be?
I think it would be awesome to be able to gain energy from the sun.

Actually we didn't come across the "skin is too thick" thing...

As mentioned in the other tread Xanthopterin is toxic, so we probably want a different mechanism for getting energy. Also we would want some sort of feedback loop on this mechanism so that we don't get an overload of sugar in the blood which would lead to fat buildup and diabetes.
