# Key Points from ##hplusroadmap IRC Discussion

• A discussion on hazmat suit availability during disease outbreaks revealed that Lakeland Industries issued a press release highlighting their supply amid global shortages, suggesting opportunistic marketing during health crises.

• Researchers shared a paper on nanoshuttles propelled by motor proteins that can assemble molecular cargo in microfluidic devices, demonstrating how these nanoshuttles can be guided across stream boundaries using shear stress without complex surface patterning.

• "The Handbook of Graph Drawing and Visualization" from Brown University was shared as a comprehensive technical resource for researchers working in graph theory.

• A technical discussion about Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tip manufacturing revealed they are typically produced through controlled breaking processes, FIB (Focused Ion Beam) milling of pulled pipette tips, or chemical polishing methods.

• A participant proposed a combined crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform where open source projects could receive funding while allowing contributors to sign up for specific work tasks, with community-driven requirements to reduce project failures.

• High-resolution 3D printing capabilities were demonstrated through shared images of detailed Yoda and frog figurines, with a brief discussion about similar applications in jewelry production.

• A link was shared about Airware's partnership with NASA to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management System, with comments about the challenges of precise navigation and landing for drones.
