SINGAPORE, Apr 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sinch Mailgun, part of Sinch, has released its Email Impact Report 2026, introducing new industry benchmarks across 10 high-volume sending sectors and revealing a gap between email performance and execution.Based on insights from more than 400 billion emails sent in 2025 and a global survey of over 1,200 email senders, the report shows that while email remains a critical, high-performing channel, poor deliverability is leaving significant revenue on the table. Nearly 18% of emails fail to reach the inbox, putting up to a fifth of potential return on investment at risk for many organisations.78% of respondents say email is critical to business success. At the same time, the research highlights a growing disconnect between performance and execution, driven by gaps in measurement, deliverability practices and AI application.“APAC businesses rely heavily on email to drive sales, loyalty and customer experience but many are not set up to capture its full value,” said Ginger Kidd, Vice President Marketing & Communications APAC at Sinch. “What we see in this data reflects what’s happening locally: brands are investing in email and seeing strong returns, yet there is still a high number of messages that never reach inboxes. For instance, in a market as competitive and cost-conscious as Australia, marketers simply can’t afford for emails to get lost in inboxes. When budgets are under pressure, fixing deliverability is one of the fastest ways to unlock more value from the spend they already have.”AI adoption is widespread, but its impact remains uneven. Many teams focus on basic use cases such as content generation, while higher-impact applications such as optimisation, segmentation and deliverability remain underutilised. Organisations that use AI more effectively are significantly more likely to report improved email performance.Ginger Kidd said: "Across the diverse markets of APAC, we’re seeing a common theme: marketers are enthusiastically adopting AI, but the initial focus has primarily been on content creation. The true opportunity now lies in leveraging AI for smarter decision-making. For instance, who to send to, how often, and with what level of risk. This strategic shift is the key to ensuring every campaign improves performance, not just adds volume.“The most sophisticated teams are already using AI to predict which subscribers are at risk of disengaging, to fine-tune send times and to protect sender reputation. That’s where we’re seeing a real uplift in performance, not just faster content production.”Key findings of the report include:60% of companies measuring email ROI report returns above $10 for every $1 spentMore than 1 in 10 achieve returns as high as 40:146% say AI improves speed and efficiency41% of teams use AI to generate email content23% say AI has not improved their email programs49% report improved email performance year-over-year79% plan to maintain or increase investment in emailFewer than half of organisations can confidently measure email ROIAbout the reportThe Email Impact Report 2026 combines:Data from 400+ billion emails sent in 2025Insights from 1,200+ email senders globallyBenchmarks across 10 high-volume industriesRead more about the report here.About SinchSinch’s vision is to connect every business with every customer, everywhere in the world.

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年4月22日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（「Datavault AI」或「本公司」） （納斯達克代碼：DVLT），作為人工智慧驅動的數據變現、憑證認證、數位互動及實物資產（「RWA」）代幣化技術的領導者，今日宣布獲得美國專利第12,596,819號，並收到另外兩項美國專利申請的准予通知。此里程碑直接延續了本公司於2025年12月獲頒兩項關於區塊鏈驅動內容授權及代幣化變現的基礎專利，進一步擴展了其強大的智慧財產權組合，其中以定義業界標準的碳信用額度代幣化專利為首。投資者重點摘要一項新頒發的專利及兩份准予通知，將保護範圍延伸至三大高價值平台：AI驗證的數據估值與變現、代幣化虛擬地點融資，以及數位資產與去中心化金融（DeFi）的自動化報稅準備——直接解決1099-DA合規挑戰。透過量子抗性加密與區塊鏈不可篡改性，強化了公司的 Sumerian® 加密錨點、DataValue®、DataScore® 及 Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 技術，為日益增長的代幣化合約與授權交易管道奠定基礎。此舉正值首個完整的 IRS 1099-DA 報稅季結束之際，期間據報出現諸多營運障礙——包括 Coinbase、Kraken 及 Gemini 的資料遲交問題——這充分顯示市場對 Datavault AI 自動化、代幣化稅務解決方案的明確需求。已實現的應用場景包括代幣化大宗商品（銅、黃金、貴金屬）、農業/基因組/醫療保健數據資產、NIL 數位孿生、資金支持的虛擬生物科技市場，以及智慧稅務自動化——這些功能皆能原生整合至該公司的邊緣 GPU 機隊與 HPC 基礎設施。此技術直接支持 Datavault AI 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標，加速金融科技、醫療保健、生物科技、能源、農業、體育娛樂及 Web3 領域的商業化進程，並開拓新的授權與合作機會。最新專利保護範圍美國專利第 12,596,819 號 - 「數據估值與安全商業化變現平台的方法與系統」（已核准）：涵蓋端到端的許可制平台，包含自願參與的數據貢獻、AI驅動的自動化估值、在Datavault®中的區塊鏈代幣化儲存，以及透過開放式交易所進行交易並具備靈活的補償途徑（銷售、授權、獎勵、慈善捐贈）。美國專利申請號 17/842,220 - 「虛擬地點資金籌措系統與方法」（准予通知）：保護特定組織虛擬地點的資金籌措、驗證及代幣化運作，包括多幣種捐款、整合式活動與資產代幣化、與投資組合對應的廣告，以及針對資料貢獻者的補償機制。美國專利申請號 17/507,459 - 「報稅表製作平台與方法」（准予通知）：涵蓋針對客戶與員工的自動化報稅表製作，包含針對數位資產及 DeFi 活動的專用代幣化報稅處理、後端表單處理，以及對不斷演變稅法條文的動態調整——精準解決困擾首個 1099-DA 報稅季的對帳負擔與透明度缺口。市場背景與利多因素這些專利申請使 Datavault AI 處於三個快速擴張市場的交匯點。代幣化實體資產的鏈上價值已突破 300 億美元（RWA.xyz 2025 年數據），波士頓諮詢集團（BCG）與 ADDX 預測全球市場規模將於 2030 年前超過 16 兆美元。全球數據貨幣化市場預計將從 2024 年的 75.3 億美元成長至 2033 年的 188 億美元（年複合成長率 10.7%，SkyQuest Technology）。這項新的報稅專利問世之際，正值美國納稅人面臨國稅局（IRS）1099-DA表數位資產經紀商申報制度實施後的首個完整報稅季——其中總收入申報自2025年1月1日開始，特定交易的成本基礎申報則於2026年1月1日生效——而業界針對經紀商遲報以及跨錢包/鏈/DeFi對帳等問題的摩擦，早已廣為人知。對投資者的影響與戰略展望總體而言，已獲頒的專利及獲准的申請案，擴大了智慧財產權的涵蓋範圍，涵蓋將原始資料轉化為代幣化、可交易資產的創新技術，並能實現虛擬環境與數位資產組合的透明化資金籌措、變現及自動化稅務處理。預期這些技術將與 Datavault AI 計劃中的邊緣 GPU 機群及高效能運算基礎設施無縫整合，從而加速 AI 估值處理與代幣化合約的執行。「取得這項已核發專利，並收到另外兩項申請的准予通知，證實了我們在將無形數據轉化為可驗證、可變現資本方面的領導地位，以及在協助組織以完全透明且包含用戶補償的方式為虛擬世界提供資金與營運方面的優勢，」Datavault AI 創辦人暨執行長納撒尼爾·T·布拉德利（Nathaniel T. Bradley）表示。「這些專利申請深化了我們的競爭護城河，並加速了我們在數據資產、實體資產及數位資產稅務申報市場中搶佔重要市佔率的進程——這將直接推動我們達成 2026 年 2 億美元的營收目標，並擴展代幣化合約的業務管道。」若欲進一步了解 Datavault AI 的成長策略、商業化路線圖，以及透過代幣化與授權釋放數據及智慧財產權價值的長期願景，建議投資人觀看近期由 Tech Edge 主持、納斯達克（Nasdaq）對執行長納撒尼爾·布拉德利（Nathaniel Bradley）的專訪，該影片現已上線：https://vimeo.com/1176174810 關於 Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™（納斯達克代碼：DVLT）是 Web 3.0 環境中以人工智慧驅動的數據體驗、資產估值及變現領域的先驅。該公司基於雲端的平台透過其聲學科學與數據科學兩個部門，提供全面的解決方案。Datavault AI 的聲學科學部門擁有 WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 等專利技術，專注於空間與多聲道無線高解析度聲音傳輸。數據科學部門則運用 Web 3.0 及高效能運算技術，為體育娛樂、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療保健、能源等各產業提供體驗式數據感知、估值及安全變現服務。Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 是一項由納斯達克金融基礎設施（Nasdaq Financial Infrastructure）驅動的代幣交易技術。本公司擁有並營運多項交易所，包括國際元素交易所（IEE）、運動畫刊交易所（SIx）、紐約互動廣告交易所（NYIAX）及美國政治交易所（APE）。本公司總部位於賓夕法尼亞州費城。更多資訊請瀏覽 https://www.dvlt.ai 。前瞻性陳述：本新聞稿包含《1933年證券法》（經修訂）第27A條、《1934年證券交易法》（經修訂）第21E條，以及《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法》所定義之「前瞻性陳述」。本新聞稿中除歷史事實陳述以外的所有陳述，包括關於本公司未來營運、財務狀況、前景、計畫、目標、預期及意圖之陳述，均屬前瞻性陳述。諸如「預期」、「相信」、 「可能」、「估計」、「預期」、「意圖」、「或」、「計劃」、「潛在」、「預測」、「預估」、「應」、「目標」、「將」、「會」等詞彙及類似表述，旨在識別前瞻性陳述，儘管並非所有前瞻性陳述均包含此類識別詞彙。本新聞稿中的前瞻性陳述包括但不限於以下內容：(i) 美國專利申請號 17/842,220、美國專利申請號 17/507,459 及任何相關外國或延續申請的最終核發、範圍、有效性及可執行性； (ii) 本公司已獲專利及專利申請中技術的商業價值、市場採用情況及營收貢獻，包括 DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange® (IDE®)、Sumerian® Crypto Anchors 以及 Datavault® 平台； (iii) 本公司能否達成 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標；(iv) 本公司代幣化合約、授權協議及戰略合作夥伴關係的進展； (v) 實體資產代幣化、數據變現及數位資產稅務申報市場的規模、成長與時機；(vi) 本公司預期部署的邊緣 GPU 機隊與高效能運算基礎設施之整合與表現；以及 (vii) 因應美國國稅局 1099-DA 表格申報要求所衍生的自動化稅務申報解決方案需求。這些前瞻性陳述係基於管理層當前的預期與假設，並受重大風險、不確定性及其他因素影響，可能導致實際結果與所表達或暗示者存在重大差異。此類風險包括但不限於：美國專利商標局在重新審查時頒發的專利範圍較原核准範圍更窄，或駁回已核准的專利主張；本公司專利及專利申請中技術的商業化進程延遲或失敗；本公司吸引及留住客戶、被授權人及交易所合作夥伴的能力；來自現有及新興技術的競爭； 網路安全、區塊鏈協議及量子運算風險；影響數位資產申報的美國聯邦及州稅法變更，包括對 1099-DA 表格制度的修改；影響數位資產、證券、資料隱私及代幣化實體資產的監管發展； 本公司能否以可接受的條款籌集額外資金；宏觀經濟及資本市場狀況；以及本公司截至 2025 年 12 月 31 日止財政年度之 10-K 表年度報告、後續 10-Q 表季度報告、 以及向美國證券交易委員會（「SEC」）提交的其他文件中討論之「風險因素」章節所載之其他風險因素，該等文件的副本可於 SEC 網站 www.sec.gov 免費取得。除適用法律要求外，本公司無義務且明確聲明不承擔任何責任，無論基於新資訊、未來事件、情況變更或其他原因，均不對任何前瞻性陳述進行更新或修訂。投資者及證券持有人應注意，切勿過度依賴此等前瞻性陳述，該等陳述僅反映本新聞稿發布當日的狀況。本公司不保證將實現其預期目標。本新聞稿不構成出售任何證券之要約，亦不構成購買任何證券之要約邀請。任何關於潛在收購、處分、合資企業、戰略聯盟、授權交易或類似安排之前瞻性陳述，均須待最終協議之協商、簽署及完成，並須滿足慣常之交割條件；且無法保證任何此類交易將按預期條款、預期時間完成，或能否完成。產業與市場數據：本新聞稿包含產業、市場及競爭地位數據，包括統計數據、預測及推算，該等數據係基於或源自獨立產業出版物、第三方研究、調查及報告，其中包含歸因於 RWA.xyz、波士頓諮詢集團（Boston Consulting Group）、ADDX、SkyQuest Technology 及美國國稅局（U.S. Internal Revenue Service）之數據。本公司並未獨立核實任何此類第三方資訊的準確性或完整性，且不就其可靠性作出任何明示或暗示的陳述或保證。此類行業出版物及預測本質上受制於假設、方法論限制及不確定性，基於該等數據所作的推算、估計及判斷可能無法被證實為準確。實際市場規模、增長率以及本公司在這些市場中的地位，可能與本文所述數據存在重大差異。商標、商號、服務標誌及著作權：Datavault AI™、DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange®、IDE®、Datavault®、WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 均為 Datavault AI Inc. 於美國及／或其他司法管轄區的商標、服務標誌或註冊商標。本新聞稿亦提及其他公司所擁有的商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權，包括 Coinbase、Kraken、Gemini 及 Nasdaq 所擁有的相關標識。僅為方便起見，本新聞稿中提及的某些商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權可能未標示 ™、®、© 或 SM 符號，但本公司將在適用法律允許的最大範圍內，主張其對自身商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權的權利。使用或展示其他方的商標、服務標誌、商號或著作權，並非意在亦不暗示本公司與任何該等第三方存在關係，或獲得其背書或贊助。媒體聯絡人：marketing@dvlt.ai 投資人聯絡：Edward Barger投資人關係副總裁ebarger@dvlt.ai | ir@dvlt.ai 消息來源：Datavault AI Inc Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 and Notices of Allowance on two additional U.S. patent applications. This milestone builds directly on the Company's December 2025 issuance of two foundational patents for blockchain-driven content licensing and tokenized monetization - further expanding its robust intellectual property portfolio headlined by the industry-defining Carbon Credit Tokenization Patent.Key Highlights for InvestorsOne newly issued patent and two Notices of Allowance extend protection across three high-value platforms: AI-validated data valuation & monetization, tokenized virtual location funding, and automated tax return preparation for digital assets and DeFi-directly addressing 1099-DA compliance challenges.Reinforces the Company's Sumerian® Crypto Anchors, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) technologies with quantum-resistant encryption and blockchain immutability, underpinning a growing pipeline of tokenization contracts and licensing deals.Arrives as the first full IRS Form 1099-DA filing season closes amid reported operational hurdles-including late deliveries by Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini-demonstrating clear demand for Datavault AI's automated, tokenized tax solutions.Enabled use cases include tokenized commodities (copper, gold, precious metals), agricultural/genomic/healthcare data assets, NIL digital twins, funded virtual biotech marketplaces, and intelligent tax automation-integrating natively with the Company's edge GPU fleet and HPC infrastructure.Directly supports Datavault AI's 2026 revenue target of at least $200 million, accelerates commercialization across fintech, healthcare, biotech, energy, agriculture, sports & entertainment, and Web3, and opens new licensing and partnership opportunities.Scope of the Latest ProtectionsU.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 - "Method and System for Data Valuation and Secure Commercial Monetization Platform" (issued): Covers an end-to-end permissioned platform spanning opt-in data contribution, AI-driven automated valuation, blockchain-tokenized storage in the Datavault®, and trading on open exchanges with flexible compensation pathways (sales, licenses, rewards, charitable contributions).U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,220 - "System and Method for Funding a Virtual Location" (Notice of Allowance): Protects the funding, authentication, and tokenized operation of organization-specific virtual locations, including multi-currency donations, integrated event and asset tokenization, portfolio-aligned advertising, and compensation mechanisms for data contributors.U.S. Patent Application No. 17/507,459 - "Platform and Method for Preparing a Tax Return" (Notice of Allowance): Covers automated tax return preparation for clients and employees, with specialized tokenized return handling for digital asset and DeFi activity, back-end form processing, and dynamic adjustment to evolving tax codes-precisely targeting the reconciliation burdens and visibility gaps plaguing the inaugural 1099-DA season.Market Context & TailwindsThe filings position Datavault AI at the convergence of three rapidly expanding markets. Tokenized real-world assets have already surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value (RWA.xyz 2025 data), with Boston Consulting Group and ADDX projecting the global market to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. The global data monetization market is forecast to grow from $7.53 billion in 2024 to $18.8 billion by 2033 (10.7% CAGR, SkyQuest Technology). The new tax-preparation patent arrives precisely as U.S. taxpayers navigate the first full season under the IRS Form 1099-DA digital asset broker reporting regime-where gross proceeds reporting began January 1, 2025, and basis reporting for certain transactions took effect January 1, 2026-amid well-documented industry friction around late broker filings and cross-wallet/chain/DeFi reconciliation.Investor Implications & Strategic OutlookCollectively, the issued patents and allowed applications extend IP coverage around innovations that transform raw data into tokenized, tradable assets and enable transparent funding, monetization, and automated tax handling of virtual environments and digital asset portfolios. These technologies are expected to integrate seamlessly with Datavault AI's anticipated edge GPU fleet and high-performance computing infrastructure, accelerating AI valuation processing and tokenization contract execution."Securing this issued patent and receiving Notices of Allowance on two additional applications validates our leadership in turning intangible data into verifiable, monetizable capital, and in enabling organizations to fund and operate virtual worlds with full transparency and user compensation," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "These filings deepen our competitive moat and accelerate our path to capturing meaningful share in the data asset, real-world asset, and digital asset tax-preparation markets-directly fueling our $200 million 2026 revenue target and expanding pipeline of tokenization contracts."For additional insight into Datavault AI's growth strategy, commercialization roadmap, and long-term vision for unlocking value from data and intellectual property through tokenization and licensing, investors are encouraged to view the recent Nasdaq interview with CEO Nathaniel Bradley, hosted by Tech Edge and now available at https://vimeo.com/1176174810About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

HONG KONG, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Apr 20, Everest Medicines announced that the first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial data of EVM16, a proprietary personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, were presented at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR 2026). The data include results from EVM16 as a monotherapy and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The results demonstrated that EVM16 has a favorable safety and tolerability profile, robust immunogenicity, and promising preliminary efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors, supporting its further clinical development.The clinical trial (EVM16CX01, NCT06541639) was conducted jointly by Peking University Cancer Hospital and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, with the first patient dosed in March 2025. EVM16CX01 is a first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation, and expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of EVM16 injection as a monotherapy and in combination with tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study follows a 3+3 dose-escalation design across three dose levels (0.1 mg, 0.3 mg, and 1.0 mg). Eligible patients are those with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who have failed standard of care and have at least one measurable target lesion. Patients receive 2 doses of EVM16 monotherapy once every two weeks, followed by combination therapy of EVM16 and tislelizumab. As of December 7, 2025, a total of 9 patients had been enrolled.No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. All patients experienced at least one investigational product (IP) related adverse event (AE), all of which were Grade ≤ 2 and resolved spontaneously. EVM16 elicited strong neoantigen-specific T cell responses in 8 of 9 patients, which showed a dose-dependent trend. A gastroesophageal junction cancer patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy achieved a confirmed partial response and a PFS of 126 days. Another 2 patients achieved stable disease. A non-small cell lung cancer patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy achieved a PFS of 88 days, and an esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy has been followed up for 112 days to date and has not experienced disease progression.“As a novel personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16 has demonstrated encouraging clinical development potential in its first-in-human clinical trial,” said Professor Shen Lin, Director of the Gastrointestinal Oncology Department at Beijing Cancer Hospital and Chair of the Gastric Cancer Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology. “The data show a favorable safety and tolerability profile in patients with advanced solid tumors, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed. Importantly, EVM16 stimulated neoantigen-specific T cell responses with a dose-dependent trend, highlighting its consistent immune activation capability. Preliminary anti-tumor activity signals, including partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD), were observed in patients who had failed multiple lines of standard-of-care therapies, suggesting potential clinical activity. These findings provide early clinical validation of EVM16 and reinforce its differentiated mechanism as a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine. While immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, have transformed the treatment landscape in selected tumor types, most patients, particularly those with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors, still represent a significant unmet medical need. Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines represented by EVM16 may help expand the population benefiting from immunotherapy and provide additional treatment options.” “The favorable safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy results for EVM16 provide initial evidence of its therapeutic potential and support the clinical value of our in-house mRNA platform,” said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “Patients with advanced solid tumors, particularly those who have failed multiple lines of therapy, continue to suffer from limited treatment options. As our first in-house developed personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16 demonstrates the ability to induce immune activation and generate neoantigen-specific T cell responses, which may help reduce the risk of tumor metastasis or recurrence. This further underscores its potential as a novel approach in cancer immunotherapy. This project is powered by EVER-NEO-1, Everest’s proprietary AI-based neoantigen prediction algorithm. It analyzes patient-specific tumor mutations to identify highly immunogenic neoantigens and support the design of personalized mRNA vaccine candidates. The algorithm incorporates iterative learning capabilities designed to continuously improve neoantigen prediction accuracy and selection efficiency. Leveraging our leading mRNA platform, we will continue to advance the clinical development of EVM16 and bring this innovative therapy to more patients.”Everest Medicines has localized its clinically validated proprietary AI+mRNA platform, establishing an end-to-end integrated platform spanning antigen design, mRNA sequence optimization, lipid nanoparticles (LNP) targeted delivery and scalable manufacturing, with the potential to address significant unmet medical needs globally.EVM16 is a novel personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine in-house developed by Everest. It contains neoantigens with high immunogenicity potential, predicted based on the unique tumor mutations of each patient using Everest’s proprietary AI-based neoantigen prediction algorithm, EVER-NEO-1. The vaccine is designed to encode dozens of tumor neoantigens. The vaccine uses a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system to efficiently deliver neoantigen-encoded mRNA in vivo, activating neoantigen-specific tumor-killing T cells and inhibiting tumor growth.From an investment and market perspective, personalized cancer vaccines are in an early stage of breakthrough.

TSUKUBA, Japan, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Discovering and characterizing new materials is important for unlocking advances in fields like clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and improved infrastructure. Researchers use machine learning and other computational tools to help them, but the trial-and-error nature of the process creates specific challenges. The research produces large amounts of experimental and computational data, and scientists need tools that can track and store not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them.A newly developed system tracks and stores not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them, allowing researchers to review the decision making process for a greater transparency and reproducibility in materials science research.A new system called pinax, published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, provides precisely those features. Developed by engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), pinax captures the entire process of developing new materials, including machine learning workflows and decision-making processes. “By formalizing both successful and unsuccessful trial-and-error processes, pinax enhances reproducibility, accountability, and knowledge sharing while maintaining strict data governance,” says Satoshi Minamoto of NIMS, the study’s lead author.The new pinax system consists of three layers: the core machine learning infrastructure (bottom), the provenance recording and tracking that visualises the reasoning behind final results (middle), and the advanced feature layer for materials development (top). Credit: STAM-MMachine learning models are playing an ever-larger role in materials discovery and characterization. While the models are powerful tools, the reasoning processes they use are generally opaque. Researchers don’t know what considerations and trial-and-error processes went into their final predictions. “The system introduced in this study visualizes these invisible processes. This enables others to review, verify, and build upon the path to the conclusions,” says Minamoto.Minamoto highlights the importance of such access in applications where safety, reproducibility, and accountability are important, saying that this work “demonstrates how transparent AI systems can transform scientific discovery into a more reliable, efficient, and socially responsible endeavor.”The team tested pinax using two case studies: one on predicting steel properties and another using transfer learning to predict the thermal conductivity of polymers. The system made it possible to link the model’s performance predictions to the specific data or model aspects that influenced them, and to reproduce complex, multi-stage workflows. “In particular, the transfer-learning example highlights pinax’s ability to track how information flows between intertwined datasets and models, making every step in the reasoning process explicitly traceable,” says Minamoto.The engineers plan to expand pinax towards an autonomous, closed-loop materials discovery system. By integrating pinax’s tracking capabilities with automated experimental and simulation systems, they aim to create a loop that can use data generation, machine learning models, and decision-making systems to systematically and independently carry out the entire research cycle.Further information Satoshi MinamotoNational Institute for Materials Scienceminamoto.satoshi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2026.2629051 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-MDr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graid Technology, the pioneer in GPU-accelerated NVMe storage, today announced its Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: a purpose-built family of KV cache solutions designed to eliminate the storage bottleneck that stalls "always-on" production AI. The portfolio spans three deployment tiers: KV Cache Server, KV Cache Rack, and KV Cache Platform, all built on SupremeRAID™ technology. KV Cache Platform, the portfolio's highest tier, is purpose-aligned to NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution on the roadmap for H2 2026.As agentic AI moves from experimentation to production, the infrastructure assumptions that underpinned single-shot inference have broken down. Models running continuous multi-step tasks and maintaining context across hours of operation generate KV cache demands that overwhelm GPU HBM. The result: latency spikes up to 18x, GPU utilization as low as 50%, and model-level failures, including hallucinations and reasoning degradation, that are difficult to detect and costly to recover from.SupremeRAID™ addresses this directly, aggregating up to 32 NVMe drives into a single 280 GB/s virtual pool, bypassing the CPU via GPU Direct Storage, and delivering KV cache reads at 1.3ms- 77x faster than standard NVMe. The three portfolio tiers bring this capability to every deployment scale:KV Cache Server - single-node NVMe acceleration for individual inference servers and edge AI deployments. Available now.KV Cache Rack - rack-scale, partner-validated solutions co-engineered with leading server OEM partners for enterprise multi-GPU clusters. Available now.KV Cache Platform - Purpose-built for NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution and rack-scale storage expansion on the roadmap."A year ago, at GTC 2025, Jensen Huang predicted that storage would become GPU-accelerated for the first time. This year, NVIDIA turned that concept into an architecture with STX and CMX," said Leander Yu, CEO of Graid Technology.

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Apr 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Secure Communications, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today released The State of Secure Communications 2026, a survey of 700 security decision-makers across government and critical infrastructure in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. The findings reveal a widening gap between confidence in communications security and the reality of risk exposure - with significant national security implications. Among the most striking findings: 83% of security leaders report that WhatsApp is being used for sensitive discussions inside their organizations.The Sovereignty ParadoxOwnership and control of the infrastructure behind sensitive communications is emerging as a critical blind spot, exposing gaps in data sovereignty. While 55% prioritize sovereign control, virtually all (98%) rely on foreign-hosted platforms not built for confidential communications or high-security environments. Meanwhile, 52% are concerned telecom networks could be monitored or disrupted - a tangible risk already demonstrated by espionage campaigns targeting network operators, such as Salt Typhoon and more recently, UNC3886 in Singapore."Consumer messaging apps were never designed to handle sensitive communications, protect confidentiality, or meet the demands of high-security environments," said Christine Gadsby, Chief Security Advisor, BlackBerry Secure Communications. "They rely on phone numbers, not verified identities - and encryption protects the channel, not who is on it. That gap is already being exploited, as recent intelligence warnings show, and governments and critical infrastructure organizations are responding by moving toward communications infrastructure they own and trust."Confidence Built on MisunderstandingThese findings come as intelligence agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe issue fresh advisories about state-backed espionage attacks targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts of public officials and journalists. This highlights how the threat surface is shifting from networks to consumer messaging platforms now embedded in daily critical operations.Yet 88% of security leaders surveyed expressed confidence in their current messaging app security. That confidence is built on a fundamental misread of what these platforms actually protect, significantly increasing risk exposure. The report reveals critical gaps in encryption literacy among the very leaders responsible for safeguarding communications:52% mistakenly believe encryption protects metadata - including location data, IP addresses, and communication patterns47% believe it prevents impersonation, deepfake, or spoofing attacks41% assume communications remain secure, even after a device has been compromisedThis gap between perception and reality is now playing out in real-world incidents, with governments increasing restrictions and warnings about the use of consumer apps for sensitive communications, recognizing that encryption alone does not address the full risk.The Risks of Improvised Crisis ResponseThese gaps become most visible when organizations are under pressure. While 90% say they are confident in managing major incidents, fewer than half (49%) have a unified platform to coordinate response.In practice, the survey shows many rely on a patchwork of everyday tools - from group chats (54%) and email threads (51%) to shared spreadsheets (29%) and phone trees (19%). Familiar as they are, these tools were never designed for crisis coordination, and cannot deliver the real-time visibility, command and control or secure cross-agency communication that major incidents demand.Limits of "Good Enough" SecurityOverall, the findings point to a consistent pattern: security leaders across government and critical infrastructure are relying on communications platforms not designed for the security, sovereignty or crisis demands they now face. The issue is not encryption alone, but architecture. Many consumer platforms generate and retain metadata, operate under foreign data-access laws, and lack the controls required for high-value or classified communications.As threats evolve, from account compromise to large-scale surveillance, what may appear "secure enough" can quickly become a costly attack surface. The question is no longer whether these platforms are being exploited. It is whether the organizations relying on them recognize the risk.To learn how BlackBerry Secure Communications is protecting governments and critical infrastructure worldwide with interception-resistant, government-grade secure voice and messaging, visit BlackBerry.com/SecureCommunications.Survey MethodologyThe State of Secure Communications 2026 was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of BlackBerry.
