Transhumanism is the idea that one day humans will merge with machines, to the betterment of humankind. Antivaxers have a thing for transhumanism too. They think that somehow the real purpose of DNA vaccines is to prepare the human race for transhumanism.
Developments in neural engineering systems, such as brain-machine interfaces for text messaging and high-resolution neurotechnology for treating injuries and enhancing prosthetics, hold promising potential for improving communication and functionality in individuals.
Indian, US researchers develop algorithms for lensless, miniature cameras with futuristic applications
They offer imaging capabilities similar to conventional cameras, but at much lesser weight, cost and nearly-flat cameras.

Researchers from IIT Madras and Rice University, USA, have developed algorithms for lensless, miniature cameras that have applications in Augmented/Virtual reality, security, smart wearables, robotics among others. Lensless cameras are touted to be the future of miniature imaging technology, as they offer imaging capabilities similar to conventional cameras, but at much lesser weight, cost and nearly-flat cameras.
In conventional cameras, the lens enables light to be focussed onto an imaging sensor, which captures a sharp, detailed photograph. However, in lensless cameras the light will fall on many pixels (giving a blurred image), from which the final image has to be derived via a software.
