China is making significant strides in the brain-computer interface (BCI) field, with the release of a new medical device industry standard aimed at advancing BCI technology. The standard, set to be implemented by China's equivalent of the FDA in 2026, could pave the way for breakthroughs in BCI by 2027. China aims to establish itself as a leader in BCI research and development, with plans to nurture global-reaching BCI enterprises by 2030. While challenges remain in executing this strategy and gaining international acceptance, competition from China could make BCI devices more accessible worldwide.

US stops exports of tools to China’s number two chip maker — Hua Hong and Huali Microelectronics reportedly on the cusp of starting a 7-nm fab in Shanghai

The US Department of Commerce has instructed toolmakers to cease exports to Hua Hong, China's second-largest chipmaker, which is gearing up to establish a 7-nm production line in Shanghai. This move is part of the US strategy to impede China's semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts. Companies like TSMC and ASML have also faced restrictions in providing advanced services to Chinese tech firms. The ban on exports could strain US-China relations, impacting both Chinese companies' progress and potential losses for American toolmakers.

New 3D device computes using living brain cells — bioelectronic device uses 3D electronic mesh design paired with living tissue

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a 3D bioelectronic device that merges living brain cells with advanced embedded electronics to create a neural network capable of computational tasks. The device features a 3D mesh design with living tissue that can differentiate patterns using computational techniques. Unlike previous methods using brain cells for computation, this device allows for recording and stimulating neurons' electrical activity at a finer scale. The team successfully trained the device to identify recurring pulse patterns and differentiate between distinct patterns, aiming to scale it for more complex tasks. This technology not only delves into brain computing secrets but also holds potential for understanding and treating neurological diseases while addressing AI's energy consumption challenges.

Nvidia market share in China falls to less than 60% — Chinese chip makers deliver 1.65 million AI GPUs as the government pushes data centers to use domestic chips

Nvidia market share in China falls to less than 60% — Chinese chip makers deliver 1.65 million AI GPUs as the government pushes data centers to use domestic chips

Chinese chip makers have significantly impacted Nvidia's market share in China, with local firms claiming 41% of the AI server market and delivering 1.65 million AI GPUs out of 4 million units in 2025. Despite Nvidia still leading with a 55% market share, this marks a significant decline from its previous 95% share. Huawei emerges as a major player, shipping around 812,000 AI chips. The U.S. ban on exporting advanced AI GPUs to China has led to increased reliance on domestic chip makers, posing challenges for Nvidia's market recovery in the region.
