# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Dec 13, 2011)

* A user named Lucas__ was seeking beta testers for a general haptic sensor project, specifically mentioning ultrasonic, thermal, and Wi-Fi sensing capabilities, with an interest in crowdsourcing data from independent testers.

* There was a brief discussion about magnet implants in fingertips, which some biohackers use to sense electromagnetic fields (such as detecting when a computer is turned on).

* SolG expressed concerns about government surveillance of home chemistry labs, questioning how to conduct legitimate home chemistry experiments with increasing regulatory scrutiny of organic chemistry glassware and equipment.

* SolG proposed the idea of a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectrometer as a potential breakthrough, suggesting "tabletop with micromagnets" as an alternative to expensive traditional NMR equipment.

* A brief technical question about microfluidics was raised, with kanzure clarifying that in standard microfluidics the fluid is in contact with the channel structure, while droplet microfluidics uses an oil/water interface.
