Organs-on-a-chip are improving, and the FDA is requesting chip data as well as animal testing data on some new drugs. Changing huge systems takes time, resources, and policy, but we may be on a path to reduce animal testing in drug development. buff.ly/BQOKBNu

#Quantum computers need near-absolute-zero temperatures to function. As they scale, increasing their connections increases heat. Startup S-Transistors is creating control electronics out of transistors that can operate in that necessarily cold environment to minimize cabling needs. buff.ly/AHviJPH
