- A 2019 Cell paper was shared describing “Mammalian Near-Infrared Image Vision through Injectable and Self-Powered Retinal Nanoantennae,” demonstrating the possibility of giving mammals vision in the near-IR spectrum with a simple injection of nanoparticles that convert 980 nm light to visible wavelengths.  
- The channel briefly discussed the practical frustration of working with GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), highlighting the steep learning curve and debugging pain points for graphics-intensive projects.  
- A meta-level question was raised about why WYSIWYG editors persistently generate “garbage” source code, asking whether systematic testing and refinement of the underlying transformation rules could eliminate the problem.  
- No other substantive technical topics, links, or debates were recorded in the log; the remainder of the session consisted of routine joins, quits, and network splits.
