# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (September 7, 2016)

• A paper microscope called "Foldscope" was shared, described as an "origami-based paper microscope" from the same research group that developed the "paperfuge" - though there was discussion about whether the project was truly open hardware, as the creators were still exploring licensing options.

• A link to a presentation titled "Ethology's Anthropocentric Misassumption" was shared, though no specific details about its content were discussed in the log.

• An interesting historical note was mentioned that Marvin Minsky (AI pioneer) was the inventor of confocal scanning microscopy.

• A discussion about quantum tunnelling composite materials occurred, with one user seeking sources for sheets of the material rather than just small "pill-sized" amounts.

• A piezoelectric array technology for directional sound was mentioned as now shipping commercially, with a link to a "Large Ultrasonic Speaker Array" product from SoundLazer.

• A research paper was shared about "Changes in brain striatum dopamine and acetylcholine receptors induced by chronic CDP-choline treatment of aging mice," suggesting interest in neurochemical interventions related to aging.
