- Harvard Wyss Institute’s “DNA nano-foundries” use self-assembling DNA molds to cast 3-D silver and gold nanoparticles with ~3 nm resolution; the 120-page supplement contains complete DNA sequences and shows plasmonic properties that match simulations.  
- Channel paperbot reliably mirrors open-access copies of requested papers (Wyss nanoparticle study, Cell chemical-biology, Lancet Neurology prion article, Nature Chemistry molecular-design paper, PubMed brain-research chapters) when LibGen is reachable.  
- Portland DIYbio “PortLab” wiki (portlabpdx.org) went offline after unpaid hosting; only partial snapshots survive on archive.org, erasing detailed 2013 project pages.  
- Erik Sanchez’s neutral-atom microscope at Portland State is highlighted as a promising route to atom-scale fabrication and imaging; participants note that self-assembly plus ultra-high-vacuum techniques are still required for next-gen nanofabrication precision.  
- Focused ion beam (FIB) systems are discussed as dual-purpose tools for additive deposition and subtractive milling at nanometer resolution, complemented by low-pressure gas-phase chemistry activated by electron beams for selective material growth.  
- Startup cloud-credit programs—Amazon AWS Activate and Google Cloud Platform—are cited as resources for early-stage transhumanist or bio ventures.
