Future weapons: DARPA seeking innovative designs for insect-sized robots to compete in a series of tactical competitions

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is keeping itself busy these days trying to develop an army of ultra-powerful robot “warriors” to do it’s totalitarian bidding on the world stage. According to new reports, the Department of Defense (DOD) agency has requested that developers present their best, bug-sized robots, purportedly for use in an […]

The Pentagon is building technology that would allow troops to control machines with their minds

Transhumanism is well on its way to becoming a reality in the United States military, as the Pentagon has announced that it’s working on a new “neural interface” technology that would connect human brains directly to machines as a way to control them. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA, says the […]

Engineers are developing a fluorescent microscope that doesn’t use lenses and captures 3D data

Microscopes are essential tools in various fields of science, but much like other forms of technology, scientists have decided that the bulky microscope should have a portable – tiny even – version, to make it possible to use it to image many of the areas deep inside the body. Traditional fluorescent microscopes are important tools […]

DARPA developing neural interface technology to connect soldiers to advanced military systems and weapons wirelessly

Ever wonder what the U.S. military’s own researchers are working on at the moment? Online reports indicate that one of their latest projects involves the use of neural interfaces, specifically non-invasive ones that would allow soldiers to connect with computers and other electronic systems both digitally and wirelessly. This information is based on a pre-solicitation […]

ROBO-WARS: DARPA wants to deploy automated drones as coordinated swarms to “isolate an urban objective”

DARPA is no longer satisfied with merely deploying drones to the battlefield. It wants swarms of unmanned aircraft and ground-borne robots that can work together to isolate an urban objective, according to an article on TechCrunch. The military research agency has announced the second “sprint” of its OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program. Sprints are periods […]

DARPA researching method to put injured soldiers into suspended animation to buy more time for help to arrive

Soldiers that are wounded in the battlefield often face terrifying ordeals that can quickly lead to their untimely deaths. For this reason, the military is constantly looking for ways to improve the way they respond to calls for help whenever any members get injured in the line of duty. Now the actual U.S. agency that’s […]

The race for next-gen microchips is on: The AI revolution can’t happen without them

The inevitable artificial intelligence (AI) revolution currently faces big hurdles as today’s microchip capacity has apparently reached its limits. Experts say that while the use of transistors and microchips have allowed people to calculate even the largest of numbers, the way that the brain operates using visual cues and processing these data is way more complex than calculations […]

Pentagon’s super-secret research agency DARPA now wants to genetically engineer PLANTS to use as battlefield spying technology

It seems the Department of Defense wants to get in on the GMO craziness, but not in what you would consider the normal way. No, the Pentagon has not announced a military-wide transition to genetically modified foods; rather, DARPA— the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency — says it is working on developing a new way […]

Putin is concerned there will soon be genetically modified superhuman soldiers; calling on world leaders to agree to limitations and regulations

There is no shortage of legitimate and very serious criticisms one could lodge against Russian President Vladimir Putin, but his concerns about matters like GMOs, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering are surprisingly on point. Speaking at a youth festival in Sochi recently, he mentioned the very real possibility of an army of trained killers being […]
