- The University of Glasgow announced a €2.5 million project called “SOLSPACE: Enhancing Global Clean Energy Services Using Orbiting Solar Reflectors,” which will hire four post-docs to study how orbiting reflectors could provide 24/7 solar power to 2 km-scale terrestrial plants while minimizing light pollution.  
- Luke Parrish calculated that a reflector in 200 km LEO would cast a 1.86 km-wide beam, making it technically plausible to keep large solar farms illuminated continuously without excessive stray light.  
- A participant noted they may have been discussing the same SOLSPACE concept with its proposer in #space for the past year, suggesting ongoing informal collaboration.  
- DIYhpluswiki received minor edits to the transcript of Kalle Rosenbaum’s London Bitcoin Devs talk “Grokking Bitcoin,” indicating continued curation of open-source technical content.  
- Brief technical aside: microwave and inductively coupled plasma heating were cited as faster, electrode-free ways to energize matter, with implications for compact or sterile energy-transfer systems.
