RTI International Opens $14M Expansion of Pilot Xcelerator to Help Innovators Scale Promising New Energy and Industrial Technologies

Highlights:

- $14M expansion doubles RTI's commercialization infrastructure.

- Pilot Xcelerator platform helps innovators prove performance at pilot scale and reduce technology investment risk.

- Investment expands capacity in North Carolina to support startups, commercial companies and government partners.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Moving a breakthrough technology from the laboratory to commercial deployment remains one of the biggest challenges facing energy and industrial innovators. To help close that gap, RTI International, an independent scientific research institute, today opened a significant expansion of its RTI Pilot Xcelerator, an innovation and commercialization platform designed to help tough-tech innovators prove performance at pilot scale, reduce commercialization risk and accelerate deployment.

The $14 million expansion on RTI's campus, in the heart of Research Triangle Park, gives innovators access to pilot infrastructure, engineering expertise, independent scientific validation and commercialization support to help bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and commercial deployment. The 25,000-square-foot facility doubles RTI's commercialization infrastructure and is designed to generate the performance data and operational experience needed to move technologies closer to market.

"The RTI Pilot Xcelerator reflects our commitment to helping innovators move breakthrough technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace," said Tim J. Gabel, president and CEO of RTI. "It's an investment in innovation, commercialization and the future growth of our region and beyond."

The expansion strengthens RTI's ability to support technology commercialization in North Carolina—the Pilot Xcelerator is the only privately owned industrial pilot laboratory in the state—and provides startups, commercial companies and government partners with access to pilot-scale infrastructure that can be difficult and costly to build independently.

Beyond pilot testing, RTI helps innovators navigate the path to commercialization through independent validation, market insights and deployment planning. This support is designed to reduce risk and accelerate adoption across a range of sectors from energy to sustainable chemicals and materials to industrial biotechnology.

"Access to pilot-scale infrastructure can be one of the biggest barriers to commercialization," said David Dausch, Ph.D., vice president of engineering and advanced technology at RTI. "The Pilot Xcelerator gives innovators a place to prove performance, generate real-world data and reduce risk without having to build that capability themselves."

RTI supports demonstration and scale-up efforts across industries including sustainable aviation fuel, carbon capture, critical minerals and advanced recycling for plastics and other materials. RTI Pilot Xcelerator examples include:

- Syzygy Plasmonics: Successfully demonstrated a greenhouse gas-reforming process that converts carbon dioxide and methane to produce low-carbon aviation fuel and is now building a commercial plant to create a scalable alternative to conventional jet fuel.

- CarbonBridge: Planning is underway to test a waste-to-value bioprocessing technology that uses microbes to convert methane into methanol, transforming waste greenhouse gases into valuable fuels and chemicals, which could have broad applications across industries.

- Aether Fuels: Demonstrating a technology that converts waste carbon feedstocks into sustainable aviation fuel, generating the operational data needed to support commercial-scale deployment to reduce carbon in the aviation industry.

- Lydian Labs: Successfully demonstrated a power-to-liquids technology that combines captured carbon dioxide, water and renewable electricity to produce sustainable aviation fuel. They are targeting a commercial-scale demonstration plant in 2027 and full-scale production by 2030.

Investment will support the development of scalable copper inks for display materials and next-gen printed electronics

BILLERICA, Mass., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- E Ink, a pioneer and leading global developer of ePaper technology, today announced a significant early investment in NewCopper, a privately held U.S. technology startup developing conductive copper ink. The investment will establish opportunities for technical collaboration in display materials and printed electronics while supporting the development of a more localized and resilient supply chain.

As flexible electronics expand into applications such as displays, sensors, solar technology, RFID and connected devices, manufacturers are seeking alternatives to high-cost silver ink, which is widely used to create conductive pathways in printed components. Copper offers strong conductivity at a lower material cost, but its susceptibility to oxidation has historically limited its broader adoption. NewCopper developed a proprietary low-temperature, reactive and self-passivating copper ink formulation designed to overcome this challenge.

The rapid growth of AI data centers, electric vehicles, and broader electrification is expected to drive a significant increase in global copper demand. Meeting that demand through additional mining alone is neither ideal nor aligned with a long-term sustainability philosophy centered on resource efficiency and circularity. Technologies that enable copper to be effectively recovered, reused, and returned to the manufacturing cycle can reduce reliance on newly mined materials while supporting the continued expansion of these critical industries.

NewCopper's technology originated from breakthrough joint research from Professor Shenqiang Ren's team at the University of Maryland and Professor Liangbing Hu at Yale University. NewCopper holds an exclusive license from the University of Maryland for the proprietary copper ink formulation.

E Ink will make the investment through a post-money Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) and leverage its display manufacturing expertise to support NewCopper's production scale-up and commercialization. Because NewCopper's formulation is compatible with E Ink's roll-to-roll coating capabilities, the investment also creates an opportunity for E Ink's R&D team to evaluate copper ink as a potential conductive material for future displays and electrode applications. More broadly, the collaboration strengthens the localized supply chain for advanced electronic materials and supports the future production of ePaper components.

This investment is particularly relevant given the recent E Ink management involvement with Taiflex, a market leader in FCCL that is expanding into high-frequency CCL materials for PCBs used in AI and data-center applications. As participation in the advanced PCB materials ecosystem grows, NewCopper represents a strong strategic fit—connecting investments in next-generation technologies with a broader commitment to lower-impact manufacturing, resource efficiency, and a more circular supply chain.

"E Ink itself spun out of academia into a global technology company, so we recognize both the promise of NewCopper's innovation and the challenges of moving breakthrough technology from the lab to the market," said Johnson Lee, chairman and CEO of E Ink. "As an established leader in materials and display manufacturing, it's our responsibility to help promising companies scale. By supporting NewCopper with resources, expertise and commercialization experience, we can also help guide the display industry to new heights."

As part of the strategic relationship, Johnson Lee has joined NewCopper's Board of Directors as E Ink's designated director.

An interactive Candy Country music experience invites fans to explore the track and unlock rewards, including VIP trips to meet the artists on tour

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Candy Crush® is bringing together globally celebrated songwriter, artist and performer Shania Twain and Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Zedd to give nearly 30 years of nostalgia a whole new sound. Today, the casual mobile game kicks off its annual Music Season in-game event with a candy-coated, dancefloor-ready reimagining of the song, "You're Still the One."

The track sets the pace to an interactive music video that transports fans to Candy Country — a glittering, candy-coated Western fantasy world where it rains rhinestones, roadhouse saloons shimmer like gumdrops and rainbow rapids rush in technicolor. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund, the video brings his distinctive visual storytelling to the Candy Crush Saga universe, transforming the game's playful spirit into a world filled with surreal moments. Look a little closer and fans will find hidden clues throughout the video that could unlock a range of prizes.

Fans can head to candyroadhouse.com to enter, seek out the blue sugar stars, and hunt for rewards.* The stakes are high with six lucky winners scoring a VIP trip to meet Shania Twain or Zedd on tour. Fans can also get their hands on signed bandanas and one-of-a-kind pieces straight out of the music video itself, including Shania's baby pink hero outfit with fringe detail as well as Zedd's rhinestone-encrusted helmet.

At the center of it all is a gift to the fans who've loved this song for thirty years: Shania Twain's timeless vocals, with Zedd's genre-blending production, riding straight through Candy Country's glittering desert world.

"Bringing 'You're Still The One' back with Zedd, and building this special world with Candy Crush for fans to play in, felt like the perfect way to give the song new life. It feels exactly right," said Shania Twain.

"I was super happy Candy Crush brought me and Shania Twain together. She's a legendary artist, and I grew up listening to her music, so being able to collaborate with her on a new version of such an iconic song has been really special," said Zedd.

Last year, Candy Crush teamed up with Thundercat to reimagine a renowned Diana Ross track as a playable, swipe-driven music video. This year evolves that experience even further, turning a music video into an interactive hunt for hidden codes, surprises, and rewards. It's a natural evolution for a brand built around play, turning passive viewing into active discovery and creating new ways for fans to engage.

"Candy Crush has always been about making everyday moments more fun. Music Season takes that spirit into music culture, turning a song people know and love into something they can explore, play with and share. Working with Shania and Zedd gives fans a fresh experience and another way to experience Candy Crush beyond the game," said Luken Aragon, Chief Marketing Officer, King.

Music Season 2026 tournament is now live in-game through October 5, 2026, with the Music Season Expedition available from level 11 onward.

Iridium, Deutsche Telekom IoT, and Toyota Demonstrate Voice Messaging over Satellite via Iridium NTN Direct

Newly completed roaming agreement extends Deutsche Telekom's IoT coverage onto Iridium's satellite network

MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), a leading provider of global voice, data, aircraft surveillance, and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellite services, and Deutsche Telekom IoT (DT IoT) today announced the successful transmission of a voice message over Iridium NTN Direct℠ in a demonstration with Toyota. The milestone message was sent from a Toyota vehicle equipped with a Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 development board, a Deutsche Telekom IoT SIM and transmitted entirely via the Iridium satellite network during the Telekom Satellite Day 2026. The demonstration follows the successful completion of technical integration and a global roaming agreement between Iridium and Deutsche Telekom IoT.

"The voice message sent over our network from a Toyota vehicle illustrates how Iridium NTN Direct will enhance consumer and commercial applications for people and assets operating outside traditional coverage areas," said Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium. "This demonstration is a glimpse into the future of truly global, standards-based connectivity. Now is the time to begin integrating Iridium NTN Direct."

The first message sent, "testing, testing, one, two, freeway," successfully demonstrated standards-based NB-IoT voice messaging over Iridium's fully operational low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, and was supported by Fraunhofer's AI-based NESC® Voice Codec. This capability will extend reliable connectivity beyond terrestrial coverage for automotive, logistics, remote utilities, smart agriculture, emergency response and other IoT applications that need to stay connected wherever they operate. Through Iridium NTN Direct, eligible DT IoT customers using compatible standards-based NB-IoT devices will be able to roam between terrestrial networks and Iridium satellites.

"The future of connectivity does not end where terrestrial networks reach their limits," said Christian Schwalbe, CEO, Deutsche Telekom IoT. "Together with strong partners such as Iridium and many others, we are connecting mobile communications and satellite to form a global IoT infrastructure that keeps vehicles, machines and people reliably accessible. The demonstration with Toyota shows how technological innovation can be turned into concrete added value for our customers."

Manfred Lutzky, Head of the Communications Audio Department at Fraunhofer IIS said, "We are very pleased to support this Automotive NTN Voice PoC by providing Fraunhofer's innovative AI-based NESC Voice Codec. NESC enables reliable, natural sounding and highly intelligible satellite voice services at scale by operating at bitrates of 1 kb/s or less." He continued, "This demonstration with Iridium, Deutsche Telekom, Toyota and the other partners is a great example of cross-industry collaboration that will help to grow the satellite voice ecosystem."

With the roaming agreement now completed, Deutsche Telekom IoT customers are poised to take advantage of the commercial availability of Iridium NTN Direct in Q4 2026. Selected European customers are already testing and developing applications on the Iridium network using Deutsche Telekom's Global SIM.

Unlike regional satellite solutions that rely on cellular spectrum or are limited by geographic availability, Iridium NTN Direct is designed to extend coverage using Iridium's existing global L-band LEO satellite constellation. The service leverages a network already operating worldwide, providing a path for mobile network operators, chipset manufacturers, and device makers to extend connectivity without building or maintaining additional terrestrial infrastructure.

For Deutsche Telekom IoT, the integration further strengthens its "network of networks" approach: combining terrestrial and non-terrestrial connectivity to provide customers with reliable IoT coverage wherever their assets operate.

BOSTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FINTRX, the leading provider of private wealth intelligence for asset managers and other investment professionals, today introduced an AI agent called Fin that provides access to FINTRX data and intelligence within email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar on top of existing AI within the FINTRX platform.

Unlike AI tools that wait to be asked, Fin continuously monitors the private wealth industry and proactively pushes alerts, prospect lists, and meeting preparation suggestions straight into a user's inbox or internal team channels. The rollout includes data and intelligence covering more than 850,000 financial firms and contacts, containing 45,000 registered investment advisor (RIA) and broker-dealer firms, 790,000 registered reps, over 4,600 family offices, and 1,900 banks and trust institutions.

"Our clients want FINTRX data to show up where they're already working. Fin is always on and learns what clients care about, such as the firms they're tracking or the meetings on their calendars, and pushes FINTRX data and intelligence straight into their email or internal communication channels when something relevant happens and before they even think to ask," said Russ D'Argento, founder and CEO of FINTRX. "That's valuable time back for teams who'd otherwise be pulling lists and building briefs by hand."

Fin builds on the response FINTRX received from its recent Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, which allow clients to pull live FINTRX data into Claude, ChatGPT and Perplexity. Where MCP is reactive — answering when someone starts a conversation — Fin is proactive, learning what matters to each client and pushing relevant intelligence to them automatically. Together, they give clients more flexibility for hands-on search or do-it-for you research.

Fin's Key Features

- Proactive Alerts and Notifications: Fin monitors the private wealth channel continuously and pushes alerts when something relevant happens — such as an advisor move, a new allocation, or a firm-level change — directly into email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, or Google Calendar.

- Prospect Lists: Users can ask Fin for a list of firms or contacts that fit a given strategy or territory, and Fin researches and ranks it instead of someone building the list by hand.

- Reports and Content: Fin generates reports, briefs, and other content on demand, pulling directly from live FINTRX data.

- Meeting Prep: Fin builds a prioritized list and relevant content ahead of any meeting or conference. When integrated with a user's calendar, it proactively surfaces prep information on firms and representatives.

Users can simply email Fin or ask Fin a question through Slack or Teams. For example: "Hey Fin, I'm meeting with [firm name] this week. Send me a summary of the firm and key decision-makers so I can best prepare. And send me an email every Monday morning with news, rep moves, and M&A activity in my territory."

Every FINTRX client gets standard access to Fin at no additional cost, including all alerts and custom notifications. Premium access, which adds two-way conversations with Fin by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar, is free for the first 45 days.

Fin runs on the same SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 42001-certified foundation as FINTRX's core platform.

Beyond email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar, FINTRX also currently integrates with CRM and data systems FINTRX clients already run, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Intapp DealCloud and Snowflake.

See Fin at Future Proof Festival

FINTRX's launch of Fin arrives just ahead of the Future Proof Festival, Sept. 14–17 in Huntington Beach, Calif. FINTRX will host a Breakthrough Experience session, "Frozen Margs & FINTRX AI," on Tuesday, Sept. 15, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the FINTRX booth #118, featuring the first live demos of Fin.

Times Square Media Companies Join 9/11 Day for Unprecedented 9:11 A.M. Tribute

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On the morning of September 11, 2026, many of Times Square's iconic digital billboards will pause their normal advertising to participate in a special National Moment of Silence at 9:11 a.m. ET, marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The first-of-its-kind observance is being organized by the nonprofit 9/11 Day, with support from the Times Square Alliance and The Broadway League, along with support and participation from leading companies in the out-of-home advertising industry.

At 9:11 a.m., more than 30 participating Times Square displays will simultaneously feature a commemorative message during a one-minute Moment of Silence. Immediately afterward, singer Francesca "Ces" Picerno, who lost her father, Matthew Martin Picerno, in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, will join young performers from Broadway Bound Kids for a live rendition of "America the Beautiful."

9/11 Day Calls on Americans to "UNIITE For Good."

At the Moment of Silence observance, in Duffy Square, 9/11 Day will also unveil a 40-foot-long fully lit sculpture entitled "UNIITE." The sculpture, which was on display in Central Park on September 9, and at the Intrepid Museum on September 10, is part of 9/11 Day's nationwide 25th anniversary activities, encouraging Americans to remember and honor the victims of 9/11 and those who rose in service by joining together in unity and doing good deeds in their communities. For more information about how to pledge a good deed, visit 911day.org .

The Moment of Silence tribute has special personal meaning for Jay Winuk, who co-founded 9/11 Day in 2002 with his friend, David Paine. Jay's younger brother Glenn, an attorney and longtime volunteer firefighter and EMT, was killed in the line of duty in the collapse of the World Trade Center South Tower.

"As did so many first responders, my brother Glenn ran toward danger that morning to help people he didn't know, to serve his community," said Winuk, executive vice president of 9/11 Day. "Twenty-five years later, these few minutes of silence observed in the heart of Times Square is a simple but deeply meaningful act of remembrance for those we lost. I'm enormously grateful to the many participating companies and advertisers for making this possible."

"Our goal is to create a National Moment of Silence in America when our nation can take a moment to pause in remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy, and those impacted by it," said David Paine, co-founder and president of 9/11 Day. "We hope this will become an annual ritual over time."

9/11 Day's marketing partners, Innocean and David&Goliath, have led the way in securing the donated billboard commitments.

Among the media companies supporting the Times Square observance include (partial list as of the date of this news release): BIG Outdoor, Branded Cities, Clear Channel Outdoor, Del Mastro Outdoor, Dream Outdoor, Firefly, Heritage Outdoor, Intersection, KEVANI, Light Year Media,, New Tradition, Orange Barrel Media, OUTFRONT, Paramount, and Silvercast Media.

"Our industry has a unique ability to bring people together in shared public spaces," said Les Harrison of OUTFRONT Media, a leading IRL media company. "On September 11, these physical screens can serve an even greater purpose — creating a moment when millions of people can pause together, remember and honor those whose lives were forever changed by 9/11."
