In a recent experiment, conducted by the University of Science and Technology of China, mice were injected with nanotech particles that gave it infrared vision. Tian Xue, the scientist behind this experiment explains that it’s like injecting rodents with several night-vision goggles that give them the ability to respond to infrared light. Not many animals can naturally see in the infrared wavelength and humans don’t possess this ability. The technology is far from mass production and is yet to achieve the level of an animal with the natural ability to see in infrared. But, the recent success with mice has opened up new frontiers for optogenetics and might soon catch up with humans.

The rift that was created between the company and the drivers has led to this possibility. But not all is that straight forward as the drivers are contractors and that makes them ineligible for stock options. However, Uber, in a letter, had asked the SEC for making an exception for the drivers to have benefits out of the IPO. Even though the amount will be small, but they will feel being a part of it and that according to Uber, makes a big difference.
