9 Pieces of Bionic Tech That Will Make You Superhuman
1, 2
Bionic technology can be defined as the flow of concepts from engineering to biology and vice versa. The advancement in bionic technology over the years has helped scientists to create various innovative materials that enhance our ability.
Bionic devices such as prosthetic arms and prosthetic legs have even helped people with disabilities lead a normal life. But science fiction has literally raised our expectation, and researchers and innovators all over the globe are putting best of their efforts to build bionic tech that could someday actually make us superhuman.
Here’s a list of applications of bionics that may soon enable us to integrate superhuman powers!
1. H.U.L.C Exoskeleton – Turns You Into A Super Soldier
The H.U.L.C exoskeleton which has a titanium body was developed by Berkley Bionics and Lockheed Martin mainly keeping soldiers in mind. It is a 3rd gen exoskeleton which allows the wearer to easily lift up to 200 pounds of weight and also decreases the amount of metabolic energy required by the wearer.

The exoskeleton essentially provides a person with superhuman capabilities by increasing the strength as well as endurance. The H.U.L.C exoskeleton was made for soldiers to help them march long distances carrying heavy loads with low consumption of oxygen and heart rate.
Strength and endurance are the most important features a soldier requires especially while going on long missions. The exoskeleton increases the endurance of the wearer by lowering the oxygen requirement with the help of proprietary technology fueled by HULC™.
2. Bionic Lens – See Like Superman

The bionic lens is a proposition by many developers and manufacturers that will have a virtual display and could have multiple uses from improving eyesight to video gaming. A company called Ocumetics Technology Corporation is at the forefront of this technology.
The company has developed bionic lenses that can replace the natural lens in the human eye through the most common cataract surgery. This lens is made from bio compactable, inert and polymeric material that does not cause any bio-physiological changes in the human eye.

It not only is an answer to all the vision-related problems, but it also enhances the human eyes capability. It can focus vision at wider ranges than normal eye by adjusting the curvature of the lens.
