A French nuclear power plant, Gravelines, was temporarily shut down after jellyfish clogged its cooling system, causing four units to automatically switch off. The incident was deemed a non-nuclear event with no safety or environmental impact, and the plant is working to restart safely. The jellyfish entered due to their gelatinous bodies evading filters, a problem that has occurred at other plants in the past, and is linked to the warm summer temperatures increasing jellyfish activity.

The Google Pixel 8a, designed for long-term use with software support and replacement parts available into the 2030s, has a challenging repair process due to a strongly glued battery despite an easy-to-remove plastic back cover. The device lacks a vapor chamber for cooling, relying instead on graphite, copper film, and thermal pads, which may not be sufficient for the Tensor G3 chipset. The Pixel 8a received a low repairability score primarily because of the difficult battery removal.

Frore Systems, a startup with $116 million in funding, installed its novel solid-state active cooling system, called AirJet Mini, into Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air, which doesn't have a fan. The modified laptop showed impressive performance improvements as the tests wore on and the fanless MacBook Air's throttling kicked in. However, the installation process required modifications to the laptop's chassis, and the impact on battery life was not addressed. Frore Systems plans to debut the AirJet system in a $499 barebones Zotac mini-PC and is also developing larger and smaller versions of the cooling system.
