The new technology gives supervision to people.

"Infrared-seeing contacts are here. Transparent, power-free, and wearable, they let users perceive near-infrared light in color, opening doors for superhuman sight and enhanced visual communication." (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Superpower: These Contacts Let You See in the Dark With Your Eyes Closed)

*****************************************************

Imagine slipping on a pair of contact lenses and suddenly being able to see infrared light—without any bulky equipment or even a battery. That’s now a reality thanks to breakthrough lenses developed by scientists that convert invisible infrared into visible colors.

Mice tested with the lenses navigated away from infrared light, while humans could perceive flickering codes and light directions. The lenses even work better with eyes closed, thanks to superior penetration of infrared light.

Infrared Vision Through Contact Lenses

Scientists have developed futuristic contact lenses that let both humans and mice see infrared light by converting it into visible light. These lenses work very differently from bulky night vision goggles. 

They don’t need any power source and allow users to view multiple types of infrared wavelengths at once. Because they’re transparent, you can see both regular light and infrared light together. Amazingly, the infrared vision actually worked better when users had their eyes closed."

*****************************************************

The new contact lenses allow a person to see in the dark while eyes are closed. Those contact lenses give an IR vision for the user. That means a person can see in absolute darkness. 

That ability makes it possible to operate and see in the dark. Those lenses give a person the ability to see thermal objects, which is a good ability for firemen, police, and military personnel. 

Intelligent contact lenses are problematic systems for their power supply. Those systems require very small and powerful batteries that a person can switch or load easily. Maybe biological systems like bacteria that produce electricity can give answers to that problem. The answer can be the system that produces electricity from salt in the shell of the eye. 

Intelligent contact lenses and sunglasses can give the ability to interact with the internet. The system can have cameras in the frames or in the middle of the lens. That means the "lens" is the screen where data from multiple sensors and information tools are fusion into that screen. The system can show what happens in front of that user. 

Then it can collect the data from surveillance cameras and the route to the target. Things like airborne drones can give backup information for the system. This kind of system can also connect with the eye retina implants. There are two ways to make the robot eye interact with brains. The neuro-implanted microchips can be installed in the optic nerve. 

It can also be put in the optical lobe of the brain. That kind of system can restore vision to people. The synthetic retina implant, CCD chip can get the electricity that it needs from the optic lobe. Then it can communicate with the brain using wireless or wired communication. 

And genetic engineering is the new tool. 

Genetic engineering makes it possible to make synthetic biological eyes for humans. Those artificial organs can also replace animal tests for chemicals and cosmetics. Artificial eyes with communication ability with computers can tell how painful some sprays are without harming animals. 

But genetically engineered cells can make it possible to restore vision to people using cloned retina cells. Then the genetically engineered cells can be used to replace the neurons. Those cells can make the bridge over damaged axons. And then the programmed DNA can turn those cells that make chains into neurons. 

That kind of therapy that is based on genetic manipulation can be the permission of tomorrow. The ability to control the genomes makes it possible to create things like eagle's, or cat's eyes. Which cells surface antigens that fit certain people. Those organs can give the person super abilities. Theoretically, they are as easy to transplant to humans. As regular eye transplants.

Genetic engineering is the ultimate tool for people

Genetic engineering brings new species in front of us. The genetically engineered spiders that create silk that glows red in the dark is the brand new thing in the world of genetic engineering. Genetically engineered species can make many things that are impossible for regular technology. There is the possibility to create insects that deliver vaccines. The mosquitos that carry deadly malaria and other diseases can also carry vaccines. The idea is that. 

The vaccine is made in the engineered mosquito's salivary gland, and it helps the immune system detect malaria parasites better than without that vaccine. The malaria vaccine can be the shell antigens of the malaria parasites and the immune booster that causes an immune reaction against those antigens. 

This thing can be a very interesting way to use genetically engineered species in areas. Where there are no vaccine styluses. Or people are hard to reach. 

"The first genetic editing in spiders with CRISPR‐Cas yields colorful silk" (Phys.org/The first genetic editing in spiders with CRISPR‐Cas yields colorful silk)

But then we can go to the biorobots like microchip-controlled bugs. Same way. Microchips can control bugs. Those things can control things like spiders. The remotely controlled spiders can make the silk canvas.  But then we can think, about what remote-controlled spiders like black widows can make in wrong hands.

Genetical engineering makes it possible to create things like mosquitos, wasps, and bees that produce the same poison as the black widow. Those things are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. And microchip controlled bees and other bugs can attack people. Genetically engineered parasites can create things like tetradotoxin. Which makes it possible to create human robots. 

The most futuristic versions of biotechnology are beyond your wildest dreams and they are worse than your worst nightmares. 

Genetic engineering makes it possible to create the most interesting versions of the hypothetical intelligent bugs. Those creatures can be spiders spider silk involves bacteria that can transmit those spider's nervous signals to each other. 

But then we can remember Joseph Stalin's idea of "monkey soldiers", or "dog soldiers. The soldiers with monkey brains. The idea is that the dog soldier follows precisely the orders that it gets. The microchips in the brain control that creature. The control antenna can look like a helmet or some kind of metal bandanna. 

The first experiments with this bizarre idea were made by Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov. Ivanov tried to transplant the dog's head to a monkey's body. That person tried to create a human-monkey hybrid. Brain implants and genetic engineering make it possible to create real-life monkey soldiers. Sometimes Stalin and Hitler called those hypothetical soldiers whose brains are like dogs' brains and who follow all orders that they have. 

Monkey- or dog soldier is the term that means the soldier or creature that can only follow orders and doesn't think themselves. The brain-implanted genetically engineered soldiers can act as biorobots. The monkey-soldier can be like some kind of "predator" from the horror-action movie, where masked alien creature hunts people on Earth. The idea is that this kind of creature can have a strong body. But the brain-implanted microchips can control that creature's body.

The Russian space weapons cause worries.

"The 'Cosmos 2553' satellite was blasted through the atmosphere atop a Soyuz-2 rocket from Russia 's Plesetsk Cosmodrome in February 2022" (DailyMail)

The Russian and Soviet space weapon projects started in the 1960s. At that time the Soviet military tested ways to destroy enemy satellites using kinetic weapons. U.S. and Soviets tested the way to shut down enemy defense using the EMP pulses. The EMP pulse satellite can be the nuclear bomb that detonates over enemy territory. 

That system destroys the electronics immediately. In the 1962 nuclear test "Starfish Prime" demonstrated the power of those EMP weapons. The U.S. military detonated a 1,4 Mt. thermonuclear weapon in space over the City of Honolulu. That nuclear detonator shut down all electricity from the city and launched burglary alarms. That test was made in the 1960s when the electronics were as vulnerable to the EMP as they are today. 

X-37B

One of the problems with space nukes is how to return them to the ground. If one nuclear weapon-armed satellite gets out of control and returns to the atmosphere without control. That system can deliver plutonium all over the land. The system can be a miniature shuttle like X37B or some of its Chinese variants. Rockets can transport those systems to the orbiter. And wait for orders to attack. 

The miniature shuttle acts as a super kamikaze drone that can destroy targets on the ground. The hit angle that those systems can use can be surprising. The low hit angle causes trouble for defense. That system can return to a normal airfield. For service and repairments. The miniature shuttle can also carry ASAT weapons like kinetic energy systems and lasers. 

The ASAT satellites can have the "Kill system", like lasers or kinetic energy weapons. Or operators can drive them to collide with other satellites. The ASAT system can also carry kinetic systems. Those systems can involve steel balls. That is packed into the rocket's nose. When a rocket releases those steel balls. They can fill the orbiter with debris. That makes it impossible to use it. When those steel balls orbit in the opposite direction to the targeted satellites and impact them, that impact destroys those targets immediately. 

The Soviet military had three main types of space weapons programs. 

1) ASAT, Anti-Satellite weapon projects. 

2) ABM, Anti-Ballistic missile projects. 

3) FOBS, Fractional orbital bombardment systems. 

The FOBS involves two types of subsystems. 

A) The bombardment system that means bombs or missiles that can be launched from orbital satellites. 

B) The EMP Weapons. Which means the satellite carries a nuclear weapon. That detonates in the satellite. Unlike in the movie "Goldeneye," the satellite doesn't necessarily remove its shell before it detonates in the trajectory. That means those satellites whose mission is to destroy other satellites and enemy electronics can detonate almost without warning. In real life, those systems require the trigger signal. 

That command center cannot send signals straight to another side of the world. It must use the chain of the communication satellites. Or hide the command system in the embassy or establish a control station on another side of the world. So, could the Russian SIGINT station at Lourdes, Cuba have some role with the EMP weapon systems? Also, the command center can be on ships. 

All of those programs involved space, aircraft, ship, and land-based kinetic energy, laser, and radio-wave-based systems. The mission of those systems was to disturb and knock out enemy (NATO) satellites. Soviets used land-based lasers against the low-flying recon satellites by pointing laser weapons at them. 

And laser systems disturb those satellite cameras. The purpose of those lasers was to blind satellites. When the contract of the space demilitarization was made that contract prohibited weapons from space. But it's possible that the Soviets and maybe some other countries continued those weapon tests in silence. 

The case Kosmos 954 was a satellite that fell to Canada in 1977. The recon satellite used a nuclear reactor as a power source. And that caused questions about the purpose of that satellite. Officially Kosmos 954 was a radar recon satellite that needed that power for its radar. But it's possible that the Kosmos 954 could have some kind of electromagnetic pulse, or EMP weapon. The EMP weapon that bases the high-power radio impulse, and double pole radio waves that cause electric arc to other satellites can damage other satellites. The question is: Was that nuclear reactor used for that kind of weapon? 

Soviets also had a program called ALMAZ. That program consisted of space stations and satellites. It's possible that some of those satellites and space stations included the ASAT role. Soviets also tested miniature shuttles like the MiG-105 "Spiral". Those miniature shuttles could be used against satellites. But those small vehicles can also operate as "supercruise missiles" or hypersonic missiles. 

Miniature shuttles can drop normal bombs that are equipped with heat shields. Or they can carry internal nuclear weapons, that the system detonates in the right altitude. The shuttle can act as a super kamikaze drone that slides against its targets like military bases or cities. 

The new Kosmos 2553 causes questions. 

The unusual orbital trajectory tells us that there is something. That should not be in that satellite. There is a possibility that the Kosmos 2553 could be some kind of test bed for the ASAT or FOBS satellite. The satellite can detonate internal nuclear weapons at the orbiter. That detonation causes an EMP-impulse that can destroy electronics all around the world. 

The EMP weapon that suddenly detonates over the USA can shut down its electric supply and cause critical damage to the military and civil aircraft. The Kosmos 2553 causes a critical need to put the anti satellite systems in the orbiter. And that accelerates the arms race in space. 

The ground-based systems do not have enough time to react if the Kosmos 2553 type satellite suddenly detonates over the USA; that system can critically damage the U.S. or Europe's defense. 

The nuclear weapon that detonates at the front of the missile mass-raid can also detonate and damage many of those missiles. The EMP satellite can have two roles. To destroy opponents' missiles when they rise over the atmosphere and suppress the enemy's ability to use air defense. 

The new problem that we should consider is nuclear air-to-air missiles. The nuclear warhead gives those missiles the multirole capacity. The aircraft can use those small nuclear missiles against all targets. The nuclear air-to-air missile can destroy ships, troops, and cities as well as destroy aerial targets. 

Those nuclear missiles are suitable for space weapons. The spaceborne satellite that looks like "Katyusha" rocket mortars can carry those missiles. And that gives that kind of system an ultimate strike ability. Russians say that they will give funds for those kinds of weapon systems that can be dangerous against all other things in space, land, and sea. The space-launched nuclear missile can destroy submarines if its warhead detonates under the sea.

The one-pixel camera is a strange alternative to regular cameras.

"Kobe University YONEDA Naru and his team could adapt their setup to construct a microscope that can record a holographic movie through a light-scattering object — a mouse skull to be precise." (Interesting engineering, Tiny 1-pixel camera films holographic 3D movies beyond visible light, through objects)

In this text, the "camera" includes digital image-remastering tools from DMD to a computer that creates the image. So, the computer and AI are part of this system. 

Single- or one-pixel imaging systems are strange but effective ways to observe small structures. The single- or one-pixel CCD systems can make 3D images of small objects. The size of the pixel determines the camera's accuracy. Small pixels give higher accuracy. The thing that makes this kind of system effective in nanotechnology is that the observation system itself doesn't transfer energy to the object. And that doesn't bring artifacts, or non-controlled effects to the system. 

The tiny one-pixel camera can be a new and powerful alternative to CCD cameras. The one-pixel camera uses only one pixel to make images of 3D structures. The size of that pixel determines the accuracy of the camera. The system uses singe-pixel imaging which is one version of computer imaging. 

The large pixel means that the system is less accurate than a system with a small pixel. And if the system uses a one-pixel version of the megapixel-class CCD camera. It can make images of tiny 3D structures. 

"Schematic of a single-pixel camera using a DMD. The transmitted light (white) from the sample (blue) is modulated by the DMD and collected by a single-pixel detector. (Wikipedia, Single-pixel imaging)

A 3D single-pixel imaging. 

"A pulsed laser uniformly illuminates a DMD, used to provide structured illumination onto a scene, and the back-scattered light is collected onto a photodiode. The measured light intensities are used in a 3D reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct both depth and reflectivity images." (InterestingEnginering, Tiny 1-pixel camera films holographic 3D movies beyond visible light, through objects)

The system requires a digital micromirror device, DMD, and mirror systems that aim light at the system. The system requires light. And that means it brings a little bit of extra energy to the system. However, the need for energy is much lower than in the scanning systems. 

In that kind of system, the developer must only separate one pixel from the CCD chip. When a one-pixel camera makes images, it just scans the surface. The pixel moves back and forth. Or that pixel can be at rotational toboggan, which allows it to move fast. The system can turn that pixel from one direction into another. 

Making the image of the object. When we think about the ball-shaped system there is a possibility that when the scanner moves around the axle there is a switch that cuts electricity from the pixel, when it's in a certain direction. The system can have three positions. The small-area photographing, and 180 and 360 degrees scanning images. 

The other version is the system where the CCD camera's pixels are connected separately with the microchip. Then the system just connects the pixels to the computer one by one. That gives the system the ability to do virtual movement.

That is possible if the CCD camera's pixels are connected to the computer separately so the system can transform the CCD chip into a one-pixel camera. In that kind of system, the system benefits the CCD chip's ability to handle every pixel as an independently operating camera.
