- Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) was the day’s dominant topic, with discussion of its use in microfluidics, potential e-ink replacement, and Samsung’s prototype electrowetting television displays.  
- Participants shared practical build details: Jonathan Cline’s open notebook entry (OpenWetWare + 88proof.com blog) describing a 400-V PCB-based electrowetting array, and a follow-up YouTube demo showing droplet actuation on Teflon-coated glass driven at only 20 V via a custom 64×64 TFT electrode array.  
- Key technical questions were raised: whether drive voltage scales with electrode size or is capillary-limited, the need for an insulating dielectric layer atop etched electrodes, and the feasibility of multiplexed driver circuits to lower cost and complexity.  
- A Google-patent link to US7163612 was highlighted as the core IP covering TFT-driven electrowetting displays, underscoring potential open-source infringement issues.  
- Paperbot delivered two Nature Nanotechnology articles (DOIs 10.1038/nnano.2013.143 and 10.1038/nnano.2013.147) at user request, illustrating routine use of libgen for pay-walled transhumanist-relevant literature.  
- Ancillary links included a Samsung concept video (YouTube: Bf1GjCaYzYg) and a second electrowetting test clip (YouTube: 9c4rkthILhA) for visual reference.
