- The NASA‑IBM Lunar Foundation Model turns decades of lunar observations into a foundation for discovery, helping scientists surface patterns across data at a scale no single instrument has provided

- The model exceeds widely used methods by up to 23% in identifying key geographic features on the Moon's surface, including potential ice deposits, craters and volcanic formations, to support a sustained return to the Moon

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and NASA today announced the open-source release of the NASA‑IBM Lunar Foundation Model, one of the first publicly available foundation models for scientific exploration of the Moon, now available. Trained on an extensive lunar observation dataset curated by IBM and NASA researchers, the model can help scientists turn decades of complex, multi-instrument data into insights to support the establishment of a sustained human presence on the Moon.

The Moon's topography is ever-changing. Over time, the Moon's surface has formed craters, distributed ice and even experienced volcanic activity. For decades, sensors and instruments have continuously observed the Moon, generating petabytes of data, but to study the Moon's surface, scientists need to either sift through maps and images by hand or use low resolution, task specific machine learning models. These methods can be computationally intensive and can lack the degree of scientific accuracy needed to identify and analyze geographic features. The newly released NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model will help researchers accelerate scientific progress by identifying hidden relationships between many different types and resolutions of lunar data.

Researchers could use the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model to investigate multiple lunar phenomena, including:

- Potential Lunar Ice Deposits: Permanently shadowed regions are among the Moon's most difficult environments to observe, yet they may contain lunar ice below the surface. Lunar ice indicates the presence of water and oxygen — resources considered essential for a future Moon base and producing rocket fuel for future missions to Mars. The NASA-IBM model combines multimodal and multi-resolution observations to predict where ice may be present on the lunar surface. A NASA-IBM authored technical paper shows that the NASA-IBM model reduced error (RMSE) in identifying areas with high potential for lunar ice up to 22% compared to the SwinV2-B (ImageNet) model.1

- Volcanic History: Scientists study lunar volcanic features, called Irregular Mare Patches, to better understand the Moon's volcanic history and thermal evolution. In addition, identifying these changing regions is strategic for future surface operations. Using imperfect labels, the model better captures the extent of the volcanic features than the SwinV2-B (ImageNet model by 3%, bringing comparable accuracy with greater efficiency and lower fine-tuning costs.2

- Crater Detection: Craters are one of the most important and distinguishing features of the Moon and can reveal important clues about its history, such as the age of different terrains, their geology, and the chemical composition of the early lunar interior. Crater mapping also helps NASA select safe landing sites, avoid hazards such as steep slopes and boulders, and plan locations for long-term lunar infrastructure. With the model, researchers can now identify, contextualize, and classify craters at meter-scale resolution with the cited paper showing comparable accuracy as state-of-the-art models like SwinV2-B while offering greater efficiency and lower fine-tuning costs. At context-scale resolution (~100 meters), it outperforms SwinV2-B by nearly 19% using just half the training data.3

"NASA has spent decades building an extraordinary scientific record of the Moon, but collecting data is only part of the job," said Kevin Murphy, chief science data officer and acting chief data and AI officer at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We also have to make data easier for scientists to explore and use. The NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model shows what's possible when we bring AI to NASA's petabytes of scientific data. That's a real opportunity we see with AI: turning large-scale data into new discoveries."

"Uncovering the mysteries of the Moon requires an ability to learn from an extraordinary volume of scientific data," said Juan Bernabe-Moreno, Director of IBM Research Europe, UK and Ireland. "The NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model gives scientists a foundation to explore the Moon at scale, connecting observations across instruments, revealing patterns that are difficult to see in isolation, and providing an open platform the global research community can build on."

Despite the wealth of lunar data, no publicly available, unified dataset exists that brings the multi-modal, multi-resolution data into a common framework suitable for modern machine learning. Alongside the model, IBM and NASA scientists built the first open-source lunar dataset of its kind, a unified, machine learning ready lunar dataset aggregating over 30 spatially-aligned layers from nine instruments across four missions. The dataset combines tens of thousands of images and maps showing unique geophysical properties of the lunar surface from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and NASA's GRAIL mission and incorporated complementary lunar data from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's SELENE/Kaguya for a rich, multi-modal view of the lunar surface and subsurface available for the lunar science community to build on.

The model extends an established IBM and NASA collaboration that transforms valuable scientific data into an openly available foundation for discovery for the entire scientific community. By open sourcing the model, scientists and researchers have access to cutting edge AI systems to accelerate progress in lunar exploration. It joins the Prithvi family of open foundation models, spanning geospatial, weather, heliophysics and now the Moon. Together, these models advance a broader vision: instead of building a new algorithmic system for every scientific question, researchers can start from a shared model and adapt it to new tasks to accelerate discovery across domains.

109-year-old company doubles down on premium proteins and 100% U.S.-sourced beef, accelerates delivery and expands retail while introducing a bold new "No Bull" campaign

Key Takeaways:

- Premium Proteins: Omaha Steaks is sharpening its focus across steak, chicken, seafood and pork – and continuing its commitment to 100% U.S.-sourced beef while simplifying the customer experience.

- Faster Delivery: Omaha Steaks is expanding its footprint to enable same-day and next-day deliveries – accelerating its retail and fulfillment expansion and using stores as both customer destinations and local fulfillment hubs.

- Quality and Curation: Omaha Steaks brings relentless focus to quality and thoughtful curation across all its proteins – from steaks aged 35+ days to new parmesan-crusted chicken nuggets.

- No Bull Brand Platform: A new "No Bull" brand platform leans into Omaha Steaks' 109-year legacy and expertise to bring greater value, trust and transparency to consumers while introducing the brand to a new generation.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Omaha Steaks, America's Original Butcher, today unveiled a major transformation of its business and a new "No Bull" brand platform, bringing significant changes to what the 109-year-old company sells, how it communicates value and how quickly products reach customers.

Flexibility and convenience are at the core of the new Omaha Steaks shopping experience, offering consumers the high-quality steak, chicken, pork and seafood they're seeking in the way that best fits their lifestyle. Customers can now choose from more customizable packages than ever before and get them as quickly as same-day thanks to a rapidly expanding retail and fulfillment footprint that brings same-day and next-day delivery to more customers. That investment has reduced the average delivery time from more than six days in early 2025 to two days today.

"Omaha Steaks has been around for 109 years because we never stand still on delivering value," said Nate Rempe, President and CEO of Omaha Steaks. "Today, value is about more than price – it's knowing what you're buying, where it comes from and the expertise behind it. We're being crystal clear about the value we deliver, including 100% U.S.-sourced beef and premium proteins families can feel good about serving."

Omaha Steaks' focus on premium proteins centers on what made the company famous – high-quality proteins and the expertise behind them – while improving inventory, replenishment and fulfillment. The company is concentrating investment and innovation across steak, chicken, seafood, pork and other core proteins, and continuing its commitment to 100% U.S.-sourced beef, hand-cut in Omaha by experienced butchers. Its USDA Certified Tender Top Sirloin Filet offers consumers a more affordable premium beef option, while consumers looking for more variety in their protein choices can find thoughtfully curated new options like parmesan-crusted chicken nuggets sure to please the entire family.

Turning 109 Years of Expertise Into a Modern Brand Platform

The consumer-facing expression of the transformation is "No Bull," a new brand platform that turns Omaha Steaks' 109-year history into an advantage. With a contemporary, self-aware voice, the campaign leans into the brand's legacy and expertise while spotlighting the product truths behind Omaha Steaks – from sourcing and aging to craftsmanship, quality and delivery.

"Quality is the easiest claim in the business to make and the hardest to back up. We back it up," said Eric Johnson, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer of Omaha Steaks. "We apply the same hard-won standard to the chicken, the pork and the seafood that we apply to a filet. Nothing carries the Omaha Steaks name until it earns it. No Bull cuts through the noise and puts that craft out in the open: who's behind the product, the care that goes into it and what makes it different, so people understand exactly what they're getting for their dollar."

The campaign will come to life across TV, influencer partnerships, PR, paid social, search, email and Omaha Steaks' digital experience, supporting the company's efforts to reach a new generation of consumers – from younger urban shoppers seeking high-quality protein to busy families looking for convenient ways to keep premium proteins on hand – while continuing to serve the longtime customers and gifting occasions that remain core to the brand.

Dr Hanan H. Balkhy Launches Candidacy for WHO Director-General, Pledges "A WHO the World Can Count On"

- Nominated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

- A physician trained in Saudi Arabia and the United States, with more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical medicine, academic research and international public health leadership

- WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean sets out a three-part platform for a more trusted, prepared and accountable World Health Organization

- Record of delivery includes mobilising more than US$1.6 billion in additional programme resources for polio and emergencies

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Hanan H. Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, announced her candidacy for Director-General of the World Health Organization, having been nominated for the role by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, pledging to build "a WHO the world can count on."

"The world needs a WHO it can count on, that means decisions grounded in science and transparency; an Organization that is prepared before crises strike and decisive when they do; and a WHO that turns universal health coverage from a global commitment into something people experience in their everyday lives."

"I have spent my career confronting health threats, strengthening health systems and leading through crises. I have worked and led across WHO at every level - country, regional and global - and I understand both what Member States need from the Organization and what it takes to deliver for them. I also know the difference strong institutions can make when they are trusted, prepared and focused on delivery.''

"My candidacy is a commitment to the transformational change WHO now needs: earning Trust through science and stewardship, delivering Impact through preparedness and country-led action, and demonstrating Value through measurable results. Above all, it means keeping people at the centre of global health."

A physician with more than three decades of experience spanning clinical medicine, academic research and international public health leadership, Dr Hanan H. Balkhy has built her career from the bedside to the highest offices of global health.

She currently leads WHO's operations across 22 Member States and more than 750 million people as Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, having previously served as WHO's first-ever Assistant Director-General for Antimicrobial Resistance and as a member of the Organization's Global Policy Group.

Saudi Arabia's Minister of Health, H.E. Fahad Abdulrahman AlJalajel, said: "Dr Balkhy is one of the world's foremost public health experts. She has dedicated her career to advancing global health, and she brings the fresh thinking, proven leadership, and record of results that this moment demands''

Her candidacy comes at a pivotal moment for WHO, as the Organization moves from negotiation to implementation of the Pandemic Agreement, works to strengthen its financing base, and responds to growing calls from Member States for greater country ownership of health priorities.

Dr Balkhy has begun a programme of international visits, meeting government officials, health leaders and frontline practitioners around the world. Most recently she attended the WHO Regional Committee Meeting for Africa in Ethiopia and the one for the Southeast Asia in Timor Leste. She will be at the UNGA and in Washington D.C. later this month for national and multilateral engagements.

Dr Hanan H. Balkhy has built her career from the bedside to the highest levels of global health leadership, working across diverse health systems and political contexts. Trained in Saudi Arabia and the United States, with leadership experience spanning Saudi Arabia, the Eastern Mediterranean Region and WHO headquarters in Geneva, she brings a rare breadth of clinical, scientific and institutional experience to the role. Throughout her career, she has bridged science and policy, linking crisis response with long-term health-system strengthening and a focus on measurable results.

Long before COVID-19, she was working on the frontlines of MERS-CoV, helping to build Saudi Arabia's national infection prevention programme, strengthen its research capacity and lead the country's first Phase I clinical vaccine trial.

Dr Balkhy's platform is built on three priorities:

1. Built on TRUST - A WHO the world can count on - Restoring scientific authority, strengthening accountability and protecting WHO's independence.

2. Driven by IMPACT - A WHO that is there when it matters - Strengthening preparedness, responding faster to health emergencies and supporting countries when crises strike.

3. Measured by VALUE - A WHO that delivers measurable results - Advancing universal health coverage, strengthening country capacity and demonstrating the value of every resource entrusted to it.

Dr Balkhy said she was deeply grateful to the Kingdom, to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for the nomination, which reflects their leadership in, and commitment to, global health for all.

As It Marks 20 Years, the New York City-Born Coffee Brand Adds Banana Foster-Inspired Drinks, Returning Pumpkin Favorites and a New Breakfast Lineup with Up to 47 Grams of Protein

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gregorys Coffee ("Gregorys"), a New York City-born specialty coffee brand within the Craveworthy Brands portfolio, is going bigger and cozier this fall with a limited-time lineup of Banana Foster-inspired sips, returning pumpkin favorites and new protein-packed breakfast sandwiches.

"After 20 years in New York, there are drinks so beloved, that people would notice if we ever stopped making them," said Gregory Zamfotis, founder of Gregorys. "Those come back every year, and everything around them changes, so no two fall seasons look the same. Banana Foster is a dessert everybody already knows, and getting the banana right took the longest. Once we had it, it carried across espresso, matcha and chai."

The fall lineup, available at Gregorys coffee houses through October, includes:

- Banana Foster Latte: Espresso meets banana, butter rum, cinnamon sugar, banana chips and oat milk for a warm spin on the classic dessert. The Iced Banana Foster Latte takes it one step further with toasted maple rum vegan foam.

- Banana Bread Chai: Banana and butter rum meet spiced chai and oat milk for a sip inspired by a fresh slice of banana bread.

- Banana Foster Matcha Latte: Ceremonial-grade matcha meets banana, butter rum, oat milk, cinnamon sugar and a banana chip for a fall twist on the classic dessert

- Pumpkin Spice Latte: Gregorys' vegan take on the fall essential, espresso made with pumpkin spice, vanilla and oat milk.

- Smashing Pumpkin Cold Brew: A returning seasonal favorite featuring Gregorys cold brew with pumpkin spice, vanilla and oat milk.

And for Gregorys most loyalty customers, known as Gregulars, not quite ready to let go of summer, the Honey Ace – a refreshing blend of yuzu, wild raspberry and lemonade over bursting boba with a splash of cucumber – will remain available at participating locations throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut through September 13.

Bigger, Better Breakfast

Gregorys is bringing the same focus on quality to breakfast with an elevated sandwich menu, featuring two fresh-cracked eggs in every housemade sandwich, premium ingredients and up to 47 grams of protein.

The new breakfast options include the Ham, Egg & Cheese Croissant; Bacon, Egg & Cheese English Muffin; Sausage, Egg & Cheese English Muffin; Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant and Prosciutto, Egg & Brie Baguette, layered with bacon, prosciutto, arugula, brie spread and fig jam.

"Every one of these sandwiches gets two eggs cracked in the store," added Jax Sperling, Vice President of Culinary & Supply Chain for Craveworthy Brands. "That is not the fast way to do it, and it is why they taste the way they do. Breakfast on the way to work usually asks you to settle for less, and there is no good reason for that. The prosciutto, egg and brie on a baguette is the one I keep going back to."

More Brewing This Fall

In celebration of National Coffee Day on September 29, every Gregorys Rewards member who makes a purchase will earn 400 Gs – enough to redeem for a free drip coffee on their next visit or save toward another reward. On National Frappe Day, October 7, Rewards members can also enjoy a buy one, get one free frappe.

CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and cardiac surgery through blood purification. CytoSorbents' proprietary blood purification technologies are based on biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. Cartridges filled with these beads can be used with standard blood pumps already in the hospital (e.g. dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy or CRRT, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or ECMO, and heart-lung machines), where blood is repeatedly recirculated outside the body, through our cartridges where toxic substances are removed, and then back into the body. CytoSorbents' technologies are used in a number of broad applications. Specifically, two important applications are 1) the removal of blood thinners during and after cardiothoracic surgery to reduce the risk of severe bleeding, and 2) the removal of inflammatory agents and toxins in common critical illnesses that can lead to massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. The breadth of these critical illnesses includes, for example, sepsis, burn injury, trauma, lung injury, liver failure, cytokine storm and cytokine release syndrome, and pancreatitis as well as the removal of liver toxins that accumulate in acute liver dysfunction or failure, and the removal of myoglobin in severe rhabdomyolysis that can otherwise lead to renal failure. In these diseases, the risk of death can be extremely high, and there are few, if any, effective treatments.

CytoSorbents' lead product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union and distributed in over 70 countries worldwide, with more than 300,000 devices used cumulatively to date. CytoSorb® was originally launched in the European Union under CE mark as the first cytokine adsorber. Additional CE mark extensions were granted for bilirubin and myoglobin removal in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and for ticagrelor and rivaroxaban removal in cardiothoracic surgery procedures. CytoSorb®

 has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with impending or confirmed respiratory failure. CytoSorb® is not yet approved or cleared in the United States.

In the U.S. and Canada, CytoSorbents is developing the DrugSorb®-ATR antithrombotic removal system, an investigational device based on an equivalent polymer technology to CytoSorb®, to reduce the severity of perioperative bleeding in high-risk surgery due to blood thinning drugs. It has received two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations: one for the removal of ticagrelor and another for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Company is actively pursuing regulatory approval of DrugSorb®-ATR with the U.S. FDA and will pursue regulatory approval with Health Canada with better visibility from the FDA. DrugSorb®-ATR is not yet granted or approved in either the U.S. or Canada.

The Company has numerous marketed products and products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology protected by many issued U.S. and international patents and registered trademarks, and multiple patent applications pending, including ECOS-300CY®, CytoSorb-XL™, HemoDefend-RBC™, HemoDefend-BGA™, VetResQ®, K+ontrol™, DrugSorb®, ContrastSorb, PuriFi®, HotSwap™ and others.

The latest assay results represent eight (8) diamond drill holes for 2,955 m from the underground resource expansion drill program targeting the potential link between the L10 Zone ("L10"), and the larger 710-711 Zone ("710-711"), outside of the current mineral resources ("2024 MRE"). Drilling was conducted from Level 16 (-720 m depth) to test the extensions of L10 vein system and confirm the link with the 710-711 vein system, referred to as the "L10/710-711 Complex Link" (see press release dated May 12, 2026, entitled "1911 Gold Confirms Extensions of the L10 Zone at True North, intersecting 11.54 g/t Au over 3.70 m").

Highlights:

- Drilling on L10 confirmed the extensions of gold mineralization outside of the 2024 MRE, on veins linking L10 with the larger 710-711 Zone at depth

- Drilling within the L10-710-711 Complex Link target area intersected the following highlighted results:

- UG16-26-072: Intersected 10.73 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au over 8.90 m (at 245.30 m downhole depth), including 16.12 g/t Au over 5.40 m, including 49.50 g/t Au over 0.80 m

- UG16-26-076: Intersected 50.61 g/t Au over 1.60 m (at 219.20 m downhole depth), including 65.80 g/t Au over 1.00 m

- UG16-26-074: Intersected 8.72 g/t Au over 1.70 m (at 189.30 m downhole depth), including 19.70 g/t Au over 0.60 m

- UG16-26-068: Intersected 3.58 g/t Au over 3.60 m (at 193.00 m downhole depth), including 10.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m

- The exploration drill program targeting resource expansion outside of the 2024 MRE and resource potential from the new discoveries at True North, will be included as part of a global mineral resource estimate expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 ("Q4/2026")

Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO, stated, "Over the last two years, our exploration program has systematically tested the true size potential of the True North mine lease area, beginning with surface drilling that led to several new discoveries. Once we regained underground access, we tested the depth extensions of the new discoveries, as well as the resource expansion potential of known zones. The high-grade results reported today, highlighted by 50.61 g/t Au over 1.60 m, confirm a critical connection between L10 and the much larger 710-711 Zone, delivering exactly the kind of upside we were targeting, and will be incorporated into our fall resource estimate. The results from our ongoing exploration program continue to underscore True North's growth potential, which is central to the district-scale opportunity."

1911 Gold has now completed a total of 20 drill holes for 6,563 m as part of the resource expansion drill program on L10, with eleven (11) drill holes confirming the L10/710-711 Complex Link.  Additional drill results from True North, consisting of resource expansion as well as infill and delineation drilling are pending and will be released once assays have been received.

Table 1: Select Significant Drill Results – Resource Expansion Drill Program at True North (L10/710-711 Complex Link)

L10 Resource Expansion Drilling: Discussion of Results

The L10 Zone is located on the intersection of the Shoreline Basalt unit and the regional east-west steeply north-dipping L10 Shear Zone, with gold-bearing mineralization associated with veins developed as generally north-west trending extensional stockwork and breccia veins and east-west steeply north-dipping shear veins. Veining is predominantly composed of quartz with accessory Fe-carbonate and albite, with sericite-pyrite and chlorite as veinlets and pervasive alteration halos. Gold is associated with minor pyrite and as free native gold.

The L10 Shear Zone hosts a series of mineralized veins associated with the L10 and 710-711 Zones. All 8 holes confirmed the extension of gold mineralization in multiple veins, validating the link with the deeper and larger 710-711 Zone and supporting the potential to expand the current resources.

These results are located adjacent to the previously reported drill holes from the same target area, including UG16-26-055¹, which intersected 5.48 g/t Au over 9.20 m (at 195.50 m downhole depth), including 7.52 g/t Au over 4.10 m, including 12.00 g/t Au over 2.00 m, and including 14.80 g/t Au over 1.00 m, and 11.54 g/t Au over 3.70 m (at 224.10 m downhole depth), including 13.65 g/t Au over 2.30 m, and including 20.20 g/t Au over 0.70 m, from drill hole UG16-26-055¹.

Drilling from the current exploration drill program targeting the L10/710-711 Complex Link intersected significant grades in the following drill holes:

- UG16-26-072 intersected 10.73 g/t Au over 8.90 m (at 245.30 m downhole depth), including 16.12 g/t Au over 5.40 m, including 17.60 g/t Au over 0.80 m, and 49.50 g/t Au over 0.80 m within vein V709;

- UG16-26-074 intersected 8.72 g/t Au over 1.70 m (at 189.30 m downhole depth), including 19.70 g/t Au over 0.60 m within vein V715;

- UG16-26-077 intersected 4.05 g/t Au over 3.70 m (at 214.00 m downhole depth), including 20.90 g/t Au over 0.50 m within vein V715; and

- UG16-26-080 intersected 11.90 g/t Au over 0.80 m (at 252.50 m downhole depth) within vein V709.

The L10 Zone is readily accessible via the main A Shaft on the Level 16 drift and is open approximately 200 m down-plunge to the NNE and over 200 m along strike to the NW towards the upper extent of the 710-711 zone, located within the same geological setting. Follow-up drilling will be planned in 2027, once all data has been compiled and following completion of the resource update in Q4/2026.

Next Steps

Geological wireframe modelling of the veins has commenced for the updated True North resource estimate, expected in Q4/2026, which will be combined with the Ogama-Rockland Gold Project into a global resource update. The estimate will incorporate surface and underground exploration drilling at the near-mine discoveries (San Antonio West, San Antonio Southeast, and Shore) as well as resource expansion drilling at L10 (including the L10/710-711 Complex Link), and the 007 and Hinge Zones.

Current drilling activities are being conducted from underground with three (3) drill rigs focused on infill and delineation of areas contemplated for test mining and the early years of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) mine plan. Two (2) drill rigs are active on Level 16, and a third is active from the Hinge decline. A fourth underground drill rig will be mobilized upon completion of rehabilitation on Level 26.
