- February 24: P1GG completes a non-period-doubling stabilization of iNoMed's p19 partial, which also allows for a stabilization of the wick. The result is goban, the second known period-19 oscillator. EvinZL notes that there are two variants with slightly different connection points.
- February 23: Period1GliderGun (P1GG) discovers that a period-19 partial result by iNoMed can be completed with a period-doubling catalyst, giving a period-38 oscillator. May13 notices that the p19 component can be extended to form a wick.
- February 23: Keith Amling discovers two different c/2 orthogonal stretchers for a pair of coiled snakes.
- February 18: Period1GliderGun notices that a previously unrecognized pattern by Mitchell Riley from September 7, 2022 is actually a complete period-171 oscillator and is in fact the smallest known p171 oscillator.
- January 29-February 2: Keith Amling, with some help from Matthias Merzenich, discovers new c/4 diagonal spaceships ([1], [2], [3]) capable of eating a variety of objects including ships, blocks, boats, beacons, beehives, barges, loaves, tubs, toads, and mangoes.
- January 26-28: Goldtiger997 completes a 259-glider synthesis of 77P6H1V1, making it the first c/6 diagonal spaceship to be synthesized.
- January 22: iNoMed discovers the first true period-53 glider gun based on a partial result by goldenratio.
- January 20: Adam P. Goucher proves that every finite phoenix has period 2.
- January 14-15: Keith Amling discovers c/4 diagonal eaters for blocks and blinkers and uses the block eater to construct the first period-40 c/4 diagonal ship. David Bell and May13 use these to reduce the p72, p80, and p116 rakes. Matthias Merzenich notices that an incidental reaction in the blinker eater allows a known ship to eat a glider stream and can also be used to complete the first c/4 diagonal ships of periods 28, 32, and 36.
