Scientists have unveiled a device that cools organs to -4 °C without ice, letting pig kidneys stay viable for days before transplant—an advance that could extend human organ storage.

The device, highlighted by Jessica Hamzelou of MIT Technology Review, offers hope for longer‑term organ preservation and could reshape transplant logistics.

Separately, China’s effort to replace U.S. chips continues; while the gap in performance remains wide, Chinese firms are accelerating chip production. U.S. lawmakers also debate AI regulation, including a proposed "kill switch," and the EU fined Google nearly $1 billion for devastating competition breaches.

Other tech headlines: space‑based data centers face environmental opposition; the U.S. is considering banning Chinese humanoid robots from military use; and electric vehicles see strong sales in Europe, with Chinese shares doubling.

These stories underscore a tech landscape where medical breakthroughs, geopolitical chip races, and regulatory shifts intersect.
