Nocpix Nature Launches Rovex, a Large-Screen Thermal Solution for Faster Bird Discovery
LONDON, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nocpix Nature today introduced Rovex , a lightweight large-screen handheld thermal imaging camera designed to help birdwatchers, wildlife observers, and outdoor nature enthusiasts find birds more easily in challenging viewing conditions. Rovex brings a new approach to bird search by combining a 5-inch large display, wide-field thermal imaging, and AI-assisted tracking in a lightweight handheld design. Rather than replacing binoculars or other birdwatching optics, Rovex is designed to help users locate birds faster when low light, dense vegetation, or complex surroundings make visual searching more difficult. A Wider View for Faster Bird Discovery Finding a bird is often the first challenge. Rovex's 5-inch screen and 17.5° × 13.1° field of view allow users to scan a broader area with each sweep while viewing thermal information on a larger display. The open viewing experience makes it easier to search for potential wildlife activity without being confined to a narrow viewing window. AI-Assisted Search for Faster Discovery Rovex's AI Smart Tracking helps highlight potential bird heat sources and guide attention toward areas of interest. By supporting the search process rather than simply displaying thermal imagery, Rovex helps birdwatchers identify where to look and spend less time scanning areas where nothing is happening. Thermal Imaging When Nature Gets Harder to See When birds blend into dense cover or become difficult to spot as light fades, thermal imaging can provide another way to search. Rovex combines a 384 × 288 @ 12μm thermal sensor with advanced image processing, including R+ Super-Resolution, smart denoising, and target highlighting, to help thermal signatures stand out against complex backgrounds. With a lightweight design of less than 290g , Rovex is built for comfortable outdoor use and extended searching. It gives birdwatchers a practical tool for finding wildlife that might otherwise go unnoticed. Rovex marks Nocpix Nature's first step toward making wildlife observation smarter, easier, and more rewarding — Smart Ways to Discover. About Nocpix Nature Nocpix Nature is designed for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts seeking more from their outdoor experiences. Powered by proprietary sensor technology and advanced AI image algorithms, Nocpix Nature develops intelligent, user-friendly observation tools that make it easier to discover, identify, record, and share wildlife moments. We believe observation goes beyond simply seeing—it is about building a more meaningful relationship with the natural world.

SEMIFIVE Accelerates Growth with 97% YoY Revenue Surge in H1 2026, Powered by ASIC Turnkey, Mass Production, and IP
H1 bookings reach KRW 118.9 billion with revenue at KRW 94.7 billion, achieving 78% of full-year 2025 revenue in just six months Expanding ASIC turnkey bookings, accelerating mass production, and recurring IP revenue drive SEMIFIVE's scalable growth SEOUL, South Korea , Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEMIFIVE , a leading global provider of custom AI semiconductor ( ASIC ) solutions, announced bookings of KRW 118.9 billion and consolidated revenue of KRW 94.7 billion for the first half of 2026. In just six months, the company achieved 71% of its full-year 2025 bookings ( KRW 168.4 billion) and 78% of its full-year revenue ( KRW 120.9 billion), sustaining strong growth momentum. A key highlight of the first half results was balanced growth across SEMIFIVE's three core businesses: ASIC turnkey, mass production, and IP. Expanding ASIC turnkey bookings with strong visibility into mass production, continued purchase orders (POs) backed by exclusive production rights tied to the mask set, and recurring low-power IP licensing revenue from a growing customer base spanning Big Tech and data center operators combined to drive the company's strong performance. ASIC Development: Strengthening the Revenue Model through Production-Driven ASIC Turnkey SEMIFIVE's ASIC development business generated KRW 54.1 billion in revenue in the first half, more than doubling year over year. The performance reflects the company's long-term strategy of building a high-value ASIC turnkey business model designed from the outset with a clear path to mass production. Conventional design services and back-end-focused turnkey models typically engage after fabless customers complete front-end design, with service providers handling back-end implementation and product delivery. In contrast, a growing number of OEMs and service providers that traditionally purchased off-the-shelf chips are now seeking to develop custom silicon optimized for their own products and services. Many of these companies, however, lack the in-house semiconductor design teams and experience required to manage the entire chip development process. Since its founding, SEMIFIVE has built an end-to-end solution spanning chip specification and IP selection, logic and physical design, packaging, testing, and software development. This comprehensive capability has enabled the company to expand its customer base beyond traditional semiconductor companies to a broader range of businesses seeking to develop their own custom silicon. For OEMs and service providers, the customers themselves are often the end users, providing strong visibility into mass-production demand and expected volumes from the early stages of development. As SEMIFIVE continues to build a portfolio of projects designed for mass production from the outset, its growing ASIC turnkey pipeline is positioned to become a key driver of sustainable mass-production revenue in the years ahead. Mass Production: Global Production Pipeline Ramps Up on Overseas Demand Mass production bookings reached KRW 42.3 billion in the first half, nearly twice the KRW 21.2 billion recorded for the full year of 2025. Quarterly bookings climbed approximately 71% from KRW 15.6 billion in the first quarter to KRW 26.7 billion in the second quarter. Overseas customers accounted for approximately 45% (KRW 12.1 billion) of second-quarter bookings, signaling that SEMIFIVE's global production pipeline is gaining momentum as overseas production volumes ramp up. SEMIFIVE's mass production business generates recurring and stable revenue throughout customers' product life cycles, supported by the company's exclusive mask ownership. With customers increasingly moving into mass production on accelerated timelines, SEMIFIVE's secured production roadmaps and development projects are expected to provide a strong foundation for sustainable long-term growth. IP Business: H1 Revenue Already Surpasses Full-Year 2025 SEMIFIVE's IP business, led by its subsidiary Analog Bits, generated KRW 32.5 billion in first-half revenue, already surpassing its full-year 2025 revenue (KRW 30.5 billion). Bookings reached KRW 32.1 billion, equivalent to 77.3% of its full-year 2025 bookings (KRW 41.5 billion). The growth comes as power efficiency and thermal management become increasingly critical competitive factors for AI chips, driving global demand for low-power mixed-signal IP, an essential building block for high-performance AI ASICs. Analog Bits has established a virtuous cycle that turns custom IP development into a growing source of recurring revenue. When a Big Tech customer requests custom IP tailored to its data center, Analog Bits develops the IP to meet those requirements and completes silicon validation. Once silicon-proven, the IP is added to Analog Bits' portfolio and can be licensed to other customers as an off-the-shelf (OTS) solution without requiring additional development. By licensing these proven IP products to a broader base of data center customers, Analog Bits has rapidly strengthened its recurring licensing revenue model. Revenue from advanced-node IP at 2 nm and 3 nm has also continued to grow on the back of proactive technology investments, further driving the IP business. Improved Profitability and Growth Outlook Alongside strong topline growth, SEMIFIVE delivered a significant improvement in profitability. Gross margin rose 18.7 percentage points year over year, from 11.9% to 30.6% in the first half of 2026, while operating margin improved by 47.0 percentage points to -11.5%, substantially narrowing operating losses. SEMIFIVE's mass-production business is entering a full-scale ramp-up phase, supported by continued follow-on POs for vision AI, on-device AI, and data center AI chips. At the same time, the company is expanding its new ASIC development pipeline, with rapidly growing demand from customers across North America, Europe, and Asia for high-performance AI semiconductor projects based on 3D-IC technology. "Our first-half performance demonstrates that SEMIFIVE's scalable business model spanning ASIC turnkey, mass production, and IP licensing has delivered tangible results," said Brandon Cho, CEO and co-founder of SEMIFIVE. "With our backlog and production volumes progressively translating into revenue, along with an expanding pipeline of new ASIC development opportunities, we expect our growth momentum to strengthen further in the second half of the year."

Angelaligner Will Appeal Chinese Court Decision about Premolar Extraction Solution, Which Has No Impact on Customers
SHANGHAI , Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Angelalign Technology Inc. (6699.HK) ("Angel") http://www.angelaligner.com said today that it will appeal the August 10 first-instance judgment by the Jinan Intermediate People's Court (Jinan City, China) that directed Angel's Chinese subsidiaries to stop using the masterForce biomechanics simulation system and the ATreat digital diagnosis and design system to generate A7 and A7 Speed premolar extraction solutions. The preliminary decision, which applies only in China, has not taken effect and, therefore, has not impacted the company's customers or patients. The court's ruling would take effect if Angel's appeal is unsuccessful. Angel is confident that the A7 Premolar Extraction Solution does not infringe any valid patent. The Company has won several patent disputes against the Plaintiff in various jurisdictions around the world and strongly advocates for fair competition in the aligner and scanner market. "The court's decision is limited to China. Even in China, there is no immediate impact on our customers," said Fox Hu, CEO of Angel. "We feel very good about growth in orthodontist support for our professional solutions around the world. We feel confident about winning this appeal against our competitor, given we've won a series of similar cases." On May 12, 2026, the Local Division Düsseldorf (Germany) of the Unified Patent Court issued a preliminary ruling expressly rejecting the Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction requiring Angel to cease using the A7 Premolar Extraction Solution. The Plaintiff did not appeal the ruling, which is now final. The European patent at issue and the Chinese patent at issue in the Jinan case belong to the same patent family. On June 26, 2026, the Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court of China rendered two first-instance judgments in two disputes over patent infringement brought by the Plaintiff against Angel, dismissing all the Plaintiff's claims. The Plaintiff has appealed the judgments. Angel respects intellectual property and has a history of innovation in its 20-plus years in business. Some of the best orthodontists in the world, including even from competitors, consider Angel a leader in the treatment of complex orthodontic cases. Some competitors are even following in our footsteps, including our angelButtonTM and A6 Mandibular Advancement System. Angel has a market capitalization of $2 billion, strong profitability, a solid balance sheet, and a global team of caring professionals. This allows Angel to be a fortress of a long-term partner to orthodontists to create extraordinary clinical outcomes. The Chinese case is part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by Align Technology Inc. (ALGN) ("Plaintiff") against Angel that alleges patent infringement, which Angel denies. For additional information, please go to: https://www.angelaligner.com/legal-proceedings/ About Angelalign Technology Inc. Founded in 2003 and celebrating over 2 million smiles worldwide, Angelalign Technology Inc. (HK:6699) (Angel Aligner) provides digital technology-driven clear aligner products and services to meet the needs of dental professionals and patients worldwide.

i2Cool Launches i2Coating CorroCool, Combining Electricity-Free Cooling with Industrial-Grade Corrosion Protection
New silane-based coating integrates passive radiative cooling, C5 high-durability corrosion protection and weather resistance in a single system for industrial metal surfaces HONG KONG , Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- i2Cool, a technology company specializing in electricity-free cooling solutions, has launched i2Coating CorroCool , a new functional coating designed to protect industrial metal surfaces from both excessive heat and corrosion. Developed with technical support from Kinte Materials Science and Technology Co, CorroCool combines i2Cool's passive radiative cooling materials with a high-solids silane polymer system. The result is an integrated coating that delivers cooling, corrosion protection and weather resistance without requiring electricity, water or mechanical cooling equipment. The product is intended for metal roofs, petrochemical storage tanks, outdoor electrical equipment, telecommunications cabinets and other metal infrastructure exposed to intense sunlight or corrosive environments. Addressing Heat and Corrosion in One Coating Industrial metal assets often face two interconnected challenges. Under direct summer sunlight, the surface temperature of metal roofs, storage tanks and outdoor cabinets can reach approximately 60–80°C. Because metal conducts heat efficiently, this heat can quickly transfer into buildings, stored materials or sensitive equipment, increasing cooling demand, accelerating component ageing and affecting operational stability. At the same time, exposure to moisture, salt spray, chemicals and airborne pollutants can lead to corrosion, particularly in coastal areas, chemical facilities and other high-corrosivity environments. Conventional corrosion-resistant coatings primarily act as protective barriers but do not actively manage solar heat. Thermal-control coatings, meanwhile, may not provide the level of corrosion protection required for demanding industrial applications. CorroCool was developed to address both issues within one coating system. "Industrial metal surfaces should not have to choose between corrosion protection and temperature control," said Prof. Martin Y.H. Zhu, Co-founder and CEO of i2Cool. "CorroCool brings these two functions together, helping industrial assets remain cooler while maintaining long-term protection against demanding environmental conditions." Silane-Based Protection at the Metal Interface Metal surfaces contain microscopic irregularities, chemically active areas and potential defects. Effective protection therefore depends on how well a coating wets, penetrates and bonds to the substrate, as well as its ability to block the movement of oxygen, water and ions. CorroCool uses a high-solids silane polymer as its primary film-forming material. During curing, silane groups hydrolyse to form silanol groups, which react with hydroxyl groups on the metal surface and create strong Si–O–metal bonds. This molecular-level bonding helps anchor the coating to the substrate. Condensation between silane molecules also forms a dense three-dimensional network, creating a physical barrier against moisture and corrosive substances. Applied at a recommended total dry-film thickness of 200–250 μm, the coating combines: Chemical bonding with the metal substrate A dense physical barrier against corrosive agents Nano-functional particles that provide passive radiative cooling Laboratory testing has recorded adhesion strength above 10 MPa under specified test conditions. Cooling Inspired by the Sahara Silver Ant The cooling mechanism incorporated into CorroCool is inspired by the Sahara silver ant, whose microscopic hair structure helps it survive extreme desert heat by reflecting sunlight and emitting body heat as mid-infrared radiation. i2Cool's passive radiative cooling technology applies a similar principle to engineered materials. CorroCool provides two complementary thermal functions: High solar reflectance: Solar reflectance of at least 92% helps prevent a large proportion of incident solar energy from being absorbed by the metal surface. High thermal emittance: Emittance of at least 95% within the 8–13 μm atmospheric window allows heat to be released as mid-infrared radiation toward the cold outer atmosphere. By simultaneously reducing solar heat absorption and enhancing thermal emission, CorroCool can continuously cool coated surfaces without consuming electricity. For industrial facilities, this can help reduce surface and internal temperatures, lower cooling loads and limit temperature-related losses, including the evaporation of volatile materials from storage tanks. Tested for Demanding Industrial Environments CorroCool has been engineered for high-corrosivity and outdoor industrial conditions. Its tested performance includes: C5 high-durability corrosion protection in accordance with the relevant requirements of ISO 12944-6 Salt-spray resistance of at least 1,440 hours Acid and alkali resistance of at least 240 hours Adhesion strength above 10 MPa Solar reflectance of at least 92% Atmospheric-window emittance of at least 95% 1,500 hours of xenon-arc weathering , with approximately 12% gloss loss and a colour-change rating of Grade 1 These properties make the coating suitable for coastal infrastructure, petrochemical facilities, power equipment, industrial buildings and arid environments with high solar exposure. The product also features a primer-and-topcoat integrated design. This reduces the need for separate anticorrosive primer and thermal-control topcoat systems, helping simplify application and shorten project schedules. Key Application Areas Metal-Roofed Industrial Buildings Metal roofs can absorb substantial solar heat, raising indoor temperatures and increasing the cooling demand of workshops and warehouses. Roof joints and exposed areas may also be vulnerable to corrosion. CorroCool provides solar-heat management and corrosion protection through the same coating system, helping create a cooler indoor environment while protecting the roof substrate. Petrochemical Storage Tanks High tank-surface temperatures can increase evaporative or "breathing" losses of volatile materials, leading to product loss and additional emissions. By lowering solar heat absorption, CorroCool can help reduce tank temperatures and associated evaporation while providing protection against chemical exposure, humidity and salt spray. Outdoor Telecommunications and Electrical Cabinets Electronic components housed in outdoor cabinets are highly sensitive to temperature. In coastal and industrial areas, these enclosures may also be exposed to severe corrosion. CorroCool helps manage external heat gain, protect the metal enclosure and support more stable conditions for internal equipment. Additional potential applications include power facilities, offshore and coastal infrastructure, industrial pipelines, metal containers and outdoor manufacturing equipment. Seamless Field Application for Industrial Deployment Designed for efficient field execution, CorroCool features a primer-and-topcoat integrated formulation that simplifies surface preparation and coating application. By eliminating the need for separate anticorrosive primers and heat-reflective topcoats, the single-system application significantly streamlines project workflows, reduces labor costs, and shortens maintenance downtime for large-scale industrial facilities. Advancing Industrial Metal Protection CorroCool marks an expansion of passive radiative cooling technology from conventional building-energy applications into industrial asset protection. The product was developed through the integration of i2Cool's electricity-free cooling materials with established industrial coating expertise. Kinte Materials Science and Technology Co, a subsidiary of China National Electric Apparatus Research Institute under SINOMACH, contributed formulation and industrial anticorrosion capabilities to the product's development. Rather than adding a cooling layer to a conventional anticorrosive coating, CorroCool treats the metal surface as an integrated functional interface: silane chemistry anchors the coating to the substrate, a dense polymer network provides corrosion resistance, and nano-functional materials regulate heat through solar reflection and radiative emission. With this launch, i2Cool aims to offer industries including petrochemicals, telecommunications, power generation and manufacturing a lower-maintenance approach to managing two persistent sources of asset degradation: heat and corrosion. About i2Cool i2Cool is a technology company specializing in electricity-free cooling materials and solutions based on passive radiative cooling. Its product portfolio includes functional coatings, cooling films, membranes, ceramics, textiles and material additives for applications across buildings, industrial facilities, transportation and consumer products. The company's technology reduces solar heat absorption while releasing thermal energy through the atmospheric window, enabling continuous cooling without electricity or refrigerants.

There is a familiar ritual in Washington’s foreign policy think tanks whenever two Middle Eastern states sign a memorandum of understanding, launch a joint economic council or hold their first-ever ministerial dialogue: the announcement is instantly upgraded, in the retelling, into a “strategic partnership.” A defense-industry side deal becomes an “alliance.” A trade corridor becomes [...] The post No need to overread the Middle East’s marriages of convenience appeared first on Asia Times .

From Xuan Paper to Xidi Village: Diplomats in China Explore Anhui's Cultural Heritage
BEIJING , Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from CRIOnline: On August 3, fifteen diplomats based in China — representing Ethiopia, Fiji, Latvia, Türkiye, Botswana, Guinea, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and Malaysia — took part in an exchange event with local businesses in Hefei, Anhui Province, kicking off a week-long tour of the province. On August 5, the group traveled to Xuancheng, where, after experiencing the traditional craft of Xuan papermaking firsthand, H.E. Mr. Karlis Eihenbaums, Ambassador of Latvia to China, said that the preservation of traditional craftsmanship carries great significance for any nation. H.E. Mr. Karlis Eihenbaums,ambassador of Latvia to China, tries his hand at the traditional craft of Xuan papermaking. As a trained historian, Eihenbaums joined fellow diplomats from several countries on a cultural tour spanning the cities of Xuancheng and Huangshan. Xuancheng is the birthplace of Xuan paper, while Huangshan is one of China's best-known tourist destinations. In Xuancheng, the diplomats observed — and personally engaged in — the traditional techniques behind the "Four Treasures of the Study": brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. During an exchange with an intangible cultural heritage inheritor, Eihenbaums spoke about the importance of passing down historical traditions, adding that he was pleased to see local children learning about the history of papermaking and getting hands-on experience at the Xuan Paper Museum. H.E. Prof. Lekoko S. Kenosi, Ambassador of Botswana to China, suggested that Xuan paper could potentially be applied to rock art and wildlife conservation projects in Botswana. H.E. Mr. Robert Lee, Ambassador of Fiji, proposed incorporating Xuan paper into fashion design as a way of weaving it into tourism experiences. The diplomats then traveled on to Huangshan, where their first stop was Xidi Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There, they toured the village's traditional Huizhou-style residences and learned about local efforts to preserve intangible cultural heritage. In Qiyun Town, the group experienced a night cruise and a fireworks display. The itinerary also included an exchange session with young local entrepreneurs. Li Dong, an entrepreneur based at the DN Huangshan Digital Nomad Community, said the diplomats' interest in his AI hardware products had given him greater confidence in the road ahead. At the conclusion of the Huangshan leg of the trip, Nicolas Brea, the diplomat from Argentina, said he had been deeply impressed by the region's scenery, environment, and cultural heritage, and that he looks forward to visiting Anhui again in the future.

Tineco Launches Its Most Advanced Floor Washer to Date, the FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro
Bringing together advanced cleaning technology, intelligent water control and automated maintenance for cleaner, drier hard floors SEATTLE , Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tineco today announced the launch of the FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro , its next-generation smart wet-dry vacuum and floor washer for hard floors. As the brand's most advanced floor washer to date, the new model combines a sleek, technology-inspired design with Tineco's latest cleaning innovations and the Smart Refresh Station to deliver a smarter, more seamless cleaning experience. It features targeted HydroBurst cleaning, intelligent water control, improved reach and automated self-cleaning, it helps households remove stubborn messes, reduce streaks and complete everyday floor care with less effort and fewer interruptions. From dried-on spills to water marks, hair and debris along baseboards, the FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro is engineered to solve the everyday frustrations that determine whether a floor feels truly clean. HydroBurst releases a high-pressure water jet to help break down stubborn grease, dried-on stains and residue before they are lifted away by 25,000 Pa of suction. Working alongside Tineco's iLoop Smart Sensor, the system automatically adjusts suction power and water flow based on the mess it detects, reducing the need to stop and manually change settings. To leave floors cleaner and drier, Tineco's Smart-Sensing StreakFree Scraper automatically lifts as the floor washer moves forward and presses down as it is pulled back, helping collect water and reduce streaks. Backtrack Water Erasure then automatically removes any remaining water at the end of the cleaning path. The FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro is also designed to reach areas that are often difficult to clean thoroughly. Its 11-centimetre, or 4.3-inch, lay-flat design makes it easier to clean beneath low furniture, while SmoothDrive Technology provides 360-degree all-directional propulsion for moving forward, pulling back and navigating tight corners with less effort. Triple-sided edge cleaning and a DustReveal headlight also help clean along baseboards and illuminate dust in darker areas. For homes with hair or pet fur, the DualBlock anti-tangle design helps prevent wrapping around the brush roller, while Tineco's MHCBS technology continuously cleans the brush roller during use to help maintain consistent performance. After cleaning, the upgraded FlashDry system uses air heated to 230°F, or 110°C, to dry the brush roller and filter in five minutes. SilentDry offers a quieter drying option, operating at no more than 45 dB(A). Additional features include Quiet Mode for low-noise cleaning, an easy-to-see thumb screen with real-time status updates and app connectivity for monitoring progress and accessing product support. The floor washer also features a 0.85-litre clean-water tank and a 0.72-litre dirty-water tank. Upgraded pouch-cell batteries provide up to 100 minutes of runtime in Quiet Mode or 75 minutes in Auto Mode, while 2A flash charging helps prepare the floor washer for its next use. Setting the floor washer apart is the Smart Refresh Station, which automatically replenishes hot water throughout the cleaning process, eliminating the need for manual refilling. The Tineco FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro is available now for an MSRP of $1,199 USD at Tineco.com , Amazon , and through select retail partners. The launch of the FLOOR ONE STATION S9 Scientist Pro reflects Tineco's continued commitment to advancing smart home cleaning through intelligent technologies that make everyday floor care more efficient, more convenient and more effective. About Tineco Tineco ("tin-co") was founded in 1998 with its first product launch as a vacuum cleaner and, in 2019, pioneered the first-ever smart vacuum. Today, the brand has evolved into a global leader in intelligent appliances spanning floor care, kitchen, and personal care categories. With a growing user base of over 24 million households and availability in approximately 30 countries worldwide, Tineco remains committed to its brand vision of making life easier through smart technology and continuous innovation.

Tickets will be available on the official AFF website in two stages: today and 24 August. HONG KONG , Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hong Kong-ASEAN Foundation (HKAF) is pleased to announce the fourth edition of the ASEAN Film Festival (AFF), opening on 20 August.

With free screenings across Hong Kong, the programme brings together stories, cultures and creative voices from across the region and beyond. Through these diverse perspectives, audiences are invited to explore the richness and cultural diversity of ASEAN and other communities through cinema. This year's edition also highlights the connection between film and music, with many ASEAN selections using sound, songs and performance to deepen their storytelling. Films and music at the core of exploring cultural diversity AFF 2026 offers Hong Kong audiences a curated selection of films that reflect the stories, traditions and contemporary life of participating countries and regions. This year's expanded lineup broadens the dialogue and deepens cross-regional appreciation among audiences in Hong Kong, particularly younger generations. Film and music together form the emotional core of this exchange, helping to convey the cultures of ASEAN and beyond in engaging and accessible ways. The festival provides an accessible platform for audiences to learn and explore varied perspectives. Mr Daryl Ng, Chairman of the Hong Kong-ASEAN Foundation, said, 'Film and music are universal languages that bring people together across cultures and generations. As the ASEAN Film Festival continues to grow, we are pleased to invite audiences to discover the rich stories, creativity and cultural diversity of ASEAN and beyond. This year's programme marks the festival's largest edition to date, offering an even broader and more dynamic selection of films.

Insta360 Launches AI Voice Assistant for GO Ultra
A software update brings real-time translation, voice and photo Q&A to the palm-sized wearable camera, turning GO Ultra into a smarter travel companion. LOS ANGELES , Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Insta360 today announced the AI Voice Assistant, a major software update that turns Insta360 GO Ultra into a more capable companion for travel, exploration and storytelling. The AI Voice Assistant is built with Google Gemini , it lets users translate conversations and get instant answers through voice and photo Q&A, all from one wearable device. Long-press the shutter button, or say "Hey, Kira" while GO Ultra is powered on, and the camera on your chest becomes an interpreter, guide and source of instant answers. GO Ultra is a palm-sized wearable vlogging camera built for lightweight, hands-free, first-person capture. Its magnetic mounting system makes it easy to wear, remove and reposition, while AI-powered editing helps turn everyday footage into shareable stories. With the AI Voice Assistant, users can now capture, communicate and discover without constantly reaching for their phone. Four core capabilities power the experience, covering everything from conversations on the road to questions inspired by the world around you. Real-Time Translation The AI Voice Assistant helps break down language barriers in the moments travelers encounter them most, from ordering food and shopping to navigating transportation and handling everyday conversations. Instead of typing into a translation app and passing a phone back and forth, users can simply speak. GO Ultra interprets the exchange in real time, helping conversations feel more natural and face to face. Its magnetic wearable design makes it easy to switch between hands-free use and quickly removing the camera to pass it to someone else, without stopping to type or navigate a screen. Ask with Photo Some questions are easier to show than explain. Point GO Ultra at what you're seeing and ask. GO Ultra can interpret signs in unfamiliar languages, identify unfamiliar buildings and provide context on exhibits, landmarks and cultural details. Answers arrive in seconds, helping travelers better understand what's in front of them without stopping to search manually. Ask by Voice When a question comes to mind, just ask. GO Ultra can help with practical details such as the weather, prices, local dishes and souvenir recommendations, or provide background on the history, culture and stories behind a destination. Whether deciding what to order or learning why a particular place matters, travelers can get useful answers without pausing the experience to search on their phone. Voiceprint Recognition Travel is rarely quiet. GO Ultra learns the sound of the user's voice and can pick it out from traffic, crowds and nearby conversations. On a busy street or packed train, it stays focused on the person asking, helping ensure the right question receives the right response. A Deeper Way to Travel GO Ultra now helps travelers do more than capture memories. It can support conversations with locals, help users discover places beyond the usual guidebook and add context to the culture, history and customs around them. Everything runs through the same wearable camera already capturing the trip, reducing the need to stop, search and switch between devices. Because these exchanges happen as part of the experience, they can also become part of the footage, turning isolated clips into a fuller record of the journey. Once the day is over, Moments Pro adds another AI-powered layer to the workflow. Separate from the AI Voice Assistant, it identifies standout moments, organizes scattered clips into a coherent edit and pairs them with music that follows the movement and rhythm on screen. What once required manually finding music and cutting clips together can come back ready to share. Family Trips That Teach For families, GO Ultra can turn travel into an interactive learning experience. Parents spend less time searching on their phones, while children can ask about wildlife, plants, historic sites, architecture and local culture as soon as something catches their attention. The result is a more engaging, curiosity-led way for families to learn and explore together. Availability The AI Voice Assistant begins rolling out to Insta360 GO Ultra on July 29, 2026, through a software update in the Insta360 app. Feature availability may vary by region and language. Visit the Insta360 website for more details. The key improvement here is that Ask with Photo is now about identifying what the camera sees, while Ask by Voice is about open-ended questions and recommendations. Moments Pro is retained, but it is explicitly separated from the Voice Assistant rather than misleadingly presented as one of its four core features. About Insta360 With a "Think bold" mindset, Insta360 empowers people to capture and share their lives in extraordinary ways. Recognized as a market leader and innovator, Insta360's vast lineup includes the world's best-selling 360 cameras in the X Series, the thumb-sized GO Series for everyday capture, as well as an extensive range of action cameras, gimbals, webcams, and professional photography solutions.

QC Ware Demonstration of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflow Using Promethium and IBM Quantum
PALO ALTO, Calif. , Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QC Ware ("QC Ware" or the "Company") today announced a technology demonstration of a hybrid quantum-classical computational chemistry workflow using Promethium ® and IBM Quantum hardware. The demonstration calculated electrostatic interaction energy for nitric oxide reductase by combining GPU-accelerated molecular modeling and classical chemistry methods with quantum measurements performed on IBM's 156-qubit Heron superconducting quantum processor . The work highlights how Promethium can be used alongside quantum hardware in scientifically relevant workflows. This was a technology demonstration and is not currently a fully integrated Promethium product capability. "This demonstration shows how classical and quantum computing can be combined to address meaningful computational chemistry problems," said Dr. Kin-Joe Sham, Co-Founder and COO at QC Ware. "We believe Promethium delivers high-performance computational chemistry today while providing a foundation for exploring future hybrid workflows." Nitric oxide reductase is a chemically complex metalloenzyme system, making it a relevant benchmark for evaluating advanced computational methods. The workflow focused on electrostatic interaction energy, an important molecular property in drug discovery, catalysis, and materials science. The demonstration builds on QC Ware's previously published research in hybrid quantum-classical chemistry and reflects the Company's broader strategy of delivering practical, GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry today while advancing the use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing to address increasingly challenging scientific problems. Available today, Promethium's GPU-native architecture enables researchers to apply quantum chemistry across larger molecular systems and more compounds than has traditionally been practical. For selected workloads, Promethium runs demanding calculations up to 20× faster than the main conventional platforms , helping researchers generate molecular-level insights in hours instead of weeks and accelerating decision-making across drug discovery, catalysis, and materials science. About QC Ware QC Ware is a quantum computing software company. QC Ware develops applications that unlock the power of quantum computing for drug discovery, material design and other industry verticals. QC Ware's Promethium platform provides GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry for molecular modeling and drug discovery, helping customers make better discovery decisions today while exploring the hybrid quantum-classical workflows of tomorrow.
