- A newly-granted US patent (US11690212B2) describes a back-end-of-line memory architecture that pairs thin-film transistors (TFTs) with capacitors to form dense, low-power memory cells—potentially useful for neuromorphic or embedded bio-devices.  
- The open-hardware collective TSPI.at was highlighted for its “cool projects,” including a YouTube demo of an electron-gun cathode positioning system that shows practical high-vacuum and precision-motion techniques relevant to DIY surface-science or semiconductor work.  
- ScienceAlert coverage of “superionic ice” was shared—a phase of water that remains solid until thousands of kelvin, offering insights into planetary interiors and exotic states of matter that could inspire future high-energy-density materials research.  
- Cohort 3 applications opened for the Longevity Biotech Fellowship (longbiofellowship.org), a program that funds and mentors early-stage open projects in life-extension and biotechnology.  
- A concise e-book, “Biomedical Progress,” was circulated; it argues that computational tools (AI, cloud labs, large-scale data) are accelerating biological discovery and should be leveraged for open, rapid biomedical innovation.  
- High-resolution scans of Roche’s classic “Biochemical Pathways” wall chart were located on the Internet Archive, and missing footnotes were rescued and re-hosted, providing an updated reference for metabolic engineering and systems-biology work.
