I see this in the news yesterday for the first time, did not know that someone was
actually using lasers for propulsion already.

These scientists are flying a 6-inch diameter craft up 100 feet with a laser (light
amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation or coherent light) as propulsion.
Neat!
