New organ “supercooling” technique could save lives of those on transplant lists

by Larra Morris

Too many people die each year waiting on organ transplant lists, but a new technique could increase the number of available, viable organs. The technique, developed at Harvard, “supercools” the organ while pumping it full of nutrients and oxygen, making it last up to three times longer. That can save a lot of lives.

Currently organs are only considered viable for 24-hours after being harvest from a body. Supercooled organs harvested from animals for the study have shown to be viable for up to three days. The extra time could go a long way to solve one of the major problems with organ donation, getting a donated organ to a recipient in time.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
