• A 2013 Cell Stem Cell paper reported successful serial mouse cloning across 25 generations (>500 viable offspring) with no loss of efficiency or accumulation of abnormalities, suggesting indefinite recloning may be feasible.  
• Science Advances (2015) described “electronic plants” created by infusing rose xylem with the conductive polymer PEDOT-S, forming living wires that preserve nutrient flow while transmitting electric signals.  
• DIYbio discussion revived the idea of using Amazon Fire tablets as low-cost interfaces for laboratory equipment control and data logging.  
• Open CASCADE added “fuzzy boolean” operations to fix CAD model errors from gaps or imprecise boundaries, potentially undercutting commercial shape-healing tools.  
• Channel members debated phased-array radio or laser concepts for remote manufacturing: focusing Earth-based beams to sinter lunar regolith into glass, solar cells, or even perform mass-spectrometry-based element separation.  
• Philip Metzger’s 2014 white paper on bootstrapping space industry and a 2005 NASA study on regolith-derived solar panels were cited as prior art for in-situ resource utilization on the Moon.  
• A newly transcribed 2015 discussion with Bitcoin Core developer Gregory Maxwell on mining incentives and block-size economics was archived to the DIYH+ wiki.  
• Participants noted the disappearance of a chemist collaborator and questioned the status of a proposed microarray-chip DNA synthesis project.
