Utilities are shifting from a detect-and-react mindset to one anchored on prevention. New AI models give operators the foresight to act before outages and ignitions occur. 

AMSTERDAM, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Overstory, the leading grid resilience platform trusted by 6 of the 10 largest utilities in North America, today announced the industry’s first AI models that predict where outages and utility-caused wildfires are most likely to start. The new Ignition and Outage Models mark a shift from paper maps and subjective data to predictive scenario planning, giving operators a prioritized view of the exact work that will prevent the most harm per dollar spent. 

Utilities are in a moment of profound transformation. Surging costs, more severe storms, and escalating wildfire risk are converging on an industry already stretched thin — forcing operators to get smarter about every dollar spent and every mile of network they protect. For the past seven years, utilities have trusted Overstory to design programs that reduce the vegetation and wildfire risk across their network. Today’s release extends that work, giving operators the ability to model a range of scenarios to predict where the risks are greatest, what it would cost to address, and which actions can reduce it most efficiently. 

Built on years of identifying hazards, new models predict outages & ignitions 

Since its founding in 2018, Overstory has released a series of innovative models that analyze satellite data and aerial imagery to determine tree height, tree health, and ground fuels across utility networks. Trained across millions of miles and extensively validated by certified arborists, these models give utilities a data-backed view of vegetation and fuel risk at every span, down to the individual tree or shrub. 

Today’s release adds a new layer: by incorporating a utility’s historical outages and ignitions alongside factors like asset age and weather data, the models can identify the specific interventions most likely to prevent the next incident, whether that’s removing a dying tree, mowing dry grass around a pole, or replacing an aging asset in a high-ignition-risk corridor. 

From paper maps to dynamic scenario modeling  

Overstory Scenarios equips utilities to dynamically model resilience programs to tackle wildfire, asset and vegetation risks across their networks. For decades, utilities have met growing risk by deploying more resources — a logical response given the tools available at the time. But as costs continue to climb, that path is no longer tenable. Forward-thinking utilities and regulators are calling for a more predictive, data-driven approach: one that addresses more risk within the budgets they have. 

Overstory Scenarios bridges that gap. Teams can design risk-based programs, explore alternative scenarios, and weigh tradeoffs between cost and risk reduction. Analysis that once took weeks can now happen in real-time, helping utilities see where risk lies, what it costs to address, and how to reduce the most risk with every dollar spent. 

“For years, utilities have been asked to do more with less while storms and wildfires grow in frequency and severity. What utilities need now is foresight: the ability to act before an outage or ignition occurs. That’s what these models make possible for the first time”Fiona Spruill, CEO, Overstory 

With this intelligence on hand, utilities can continue to deliver on their enduring promise: safe, reliable, and affordable power.

BEIJING, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CATL today hosted its Super Technology Day in Beijing, unveiling third-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery, third-generation Qilin Battery, Qilin Condensed Battery, second-generation Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery, Naxtra Sodium-ion Battery and a fully integrated supercharging and battery-swapping solution. These innovations are designed to address diverse mobility needs across different usage scenarios. 

At the event, Dr. Wu Kai, Chief Scientist of CATL, systematically elaborated on the respective strengths, limitations, and development pathways of different chemistries. He noted that LFP is nearing its theoretical energy density limit, making it better suited for a technology roadmap centered on extreme fast charging to achieve optimal balance. NCM’s high energy density keeps it at the forefront of global competition — underscoring that energy density remains the core metric for leadership. Sodium-ion batteries offer broad potential for extreme temperatures and energy storage applications. Whether from the perspective of differentiated consumer needs, or from the viewpoints of energy security and social development, the lithium-ion battery industry must pursue coordinated development across multiple chemical systems. 

Robin Zeng, Chairman and CEO of CATL, emphasized at the conference that industrial innovation must be driven by a rigorous scientific spirit. For Chinese technology to go global, it relies not just on speed and scale, but on the quality of innovation, the ability to validate, and the credibility of the brand. 

Third-Generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery: Making Superfast Charging and Ultra-Long Lifespan No Longer a Trade-Off 

From an electrochemical standpoint, boosting charge rates while protecting battery lifespan hinges on one primary factor: temperature rise, not trickle current. As the Arrhenius equation shows, a 10°C increase in battery temperature can roughly double the rate of internal side reactions—an effect that can significantly shorten cycle life. 

The third-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery addresses heat generation and dissipation through three major measures: reduced heat production during operation, stronger thermal propagation, and higher precision control. As a result, after 1,000 complete cycles, the battery’s capacity retention remains above 90%, achieving an optimal balance between extreme superfast charging and ultra-long service life. 

The latest third-generation Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery has reached what is claimed to be the industry’s strongest capability: an equivalent 10C and a peak 15C charging rate. Charging from 10% to 35% SOC (State of Charge) takes just 1 minute; from 10% to 80% SOC takes 3 minutes and 44 seconds; and from 10% to 98% SOC takes 6 minutes and 27 seconds. Even at −30°C in extreme cold conditions, charging from 20% to 98% SOC takes about 9 minutes. 

In addition, by combining battery self-heating technology with a fully integrated supercharging and battery-swapping network, the system is designed to enable low-temperature superfast charging that is not limited by charging piles—offering both fast charging and battery swapping. 

Third-generation Qilin Battery: Lighter, Stronger, More Premium, Redefining EV Excellence 

Historically, achieving long range in premium EVs with LFP batteries has relied on simply adding more capacity — an approach that inevitably compromises vehicle lightweighting. 

The third-generation Qilin Battery is designed for premium long-range EVs, achieving a cell energy density of 280 Wh/kg and enabling 1,000 km range while supporting 10C superfast charging. 

The battery delivers 3 MW peak power, doubling the output of the second-generation Qilin track battery which competed on the Nürburgring (1,330 kW). 

The entire battery pack weighs only 625 kg. Compared with equivalent LFP systems, this represents a weight reduction of 255 kg and space savings of 112 litres. The lightweighting metrics deliver exceptionally significant benefits: 

Building on the national standard for NP (No Thermal Propagation), safety is strengthened through “thermal-electrical separation”, with each cell incorporating an independent sealed exhaust channel to isolate thermal events and prevent propagation, ensuring “heat takes the heat path, electricity takes the electrical path”.  

Qilin Condensed Battery: Aviation-Grade Technology Applied to Passenger Vehicles for the First Time 

The Qilin Condensed Battery applies aviation-grade technology to passenger vehicles for the first time, achieving 350 Wh/kg cell energy density and 760 Wh/L volumetric energy density — setting a new record for mass-produced batteries. This enables 1,500 km range for sedans and over 1,000 km for large SUVs, with pack weight controlled within 650 kg. 

The condensed battery features a high-nickel cathode and low-expansion silicon-carbon anode, boosting energy density by 50 Wh/kg. Its first-ever aviation-grade titanium alloy case reduced thickness by 60% and weight by 30%, while tripling unit strength and delivering an additional 20 Wh/kg in energy density. 

The technology builds on CATL’s electric aviation programme, where 500 Wh/kg systems have completed maiden flight validation on 4-tonne aircraft, with further validation underway on aircraft exceeding 8 tonnes. 

Replacing liquid electrolyte with a condensed system eliminates risks associated with leakage and combustion, achieving “no liquid to leak, no liquid to ignite”. At the same time, CATL has adopted a new composite current collector that acts as a fast self-fusing fuse in extreme cases of internal short circuits. 

Second-generation Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery: Bringing Hybrids into the 600 km Pure Electric Era 

The second-generation Freevoy Super Hybrid Battery extends all-electric range to up to 600 km and standardises 10C superfast charging. It pioneers a “super hybrid technology” that integrates LFP and NCM materials through gradient-uniform mixing, with the olivine crystal structure of LFP serving as the core backbone, enabling a uniform hybrid of LFP and NCM materials at the powder particle level. 

This achieves an energy density of 230 Wh/kg and increases range by over 15% without increasing pack weight compared with single LFP systems. This enables full coverage from mainstream family use to high-end, all-round hybrid scenarios, delivering optimal solutions across diverse applications. 

The LFP version delivers up to 500 km pure electric range, enabling a “once-a-week charging” experience for daily commuting. The NCM version further extends pure electric range beyond 600 km, with total vehicle range exceeding 2,000 km, enabling a seamless dual-use experience for both daily electric driving and long-distance travel. 

The system delivers 1.5 MW of instantaneous power at full charge and maintains 1.2 MW at 20% SOC, addressing power degradation in low-charge conditions. In off-road scenarios requiring over 350 kW output, the system provides more than three times the required power, ensuring consistent performance even at low charge levels. 

Safety features include a reinforced bottom coating capable of withstanding 1,500 joules of impact energy (ten times the national standard) and waterproof sealing that allows continuous immersion in 2 metres of water for over 200 hours without performance degradation. 

Naxtra Sodium-ion Battery: Achieving GWh-scale Sodium-ion Industrialisation 

The Naxtra Sodium-ion Battery marks CATL’s transition from laboratory breakthrough to large-scale manufacturing. By systematically overcoming hundreds of engineering challenges, CATL has achieved GWh-level industrialisation. 

In 2026, CATL successfully addressed four key industry bottlenecks for sodium-ion mass production—extreme water control, gas generation in hard carbon, aluminium foil adhesion, and self-forming anode systems—paving the way for reliable, large-scale deployment. The Naxtra Sodium-ion Battery is set to enter full-scale mass production by the end of 2026. 

Integrated Supercharging and Battery-swapping Network: A Unified Replenishment Architecture 

CATL also introduced an integrated supercharging and battery-swapping network, designed as a unified system rather than separate solutions, built on three complementary pillars—home charging, public charging, and battery swapping—to define the optimal energy replenishment ecosystem. All passenger vehicle “Choco-Swap” and heavy truck “QIJI” swapping stations will be equipped with Shenxing supercharging systems, enabling true charge–swap synergy, where each station serves both as a battery-swapping node and a high-power charging hub. 

The integrated charge–swap stations feature shared compact substations and charging modules, reducing energy conversion steps and lowering overall power loss by more than 13 percentage points compared with conventional storage-equipped charging stations. In emergency scenarios, station batteries can discharge directly to charging piles, driving equipment utilization rate above 85%. This enables a service capacity of 3× per parking space compared with conventional storage-equipped charging stations, while the fixed investment cost of the supercharging segment is reduced to only one-fifth of comparable systems. 

CATL launched the Choco-Swap #26 battery, featuring an 800V high-voltage architecture. The first release includes a 75 kWh version, with higher-capacity variants to follow, fully compatible with B- to C-segment 800V vehicles. With this launch, the Choco-Swap system will extend its coverage to a complete vehicle matrix from A0 to C-segment models. 

In terms of network deployment, CATL plans to build 4,000 integrated charge–swap stations by the end of 2026, covering nearly 190 cities and a nationwide highway network spanning 12 vertical and 11 horizontal corridors. To date, the Choco-Swap network has already built 1,470 stations across 99 cities, with scaling continuing to accelerate. 

Together with automakers and energy partners, CATL will co-develop a “charge–swap sharing network” based on technology sharing, seamless connectivity, and joint investment. Initial partners include Changan, Chery, GAC, Seres, SAIC-GM-Wuling, and BAIC, with a target of building over 100,000 shared energy replenishment facilities by the end of 2028. 

Advancing full-scenario energy solutions 

From five battery products covering the full material spectrum to an integrated supercharging and battery-swapping network, CATL has established a complete value chain from battery products to infrastructure. 

CATL will continue to invest in advanced research, large-scale manufacturing and ecosystem collaboration to accelerate the transition from single-point innovation to full-scenario energy solutions, ensuring the benefits of technological progress are accessible across all mobility use cases.

Next-generation, AI-powered Randomization and Trial Supply Management system—designed to get studies to first-patient-in significantly faster  

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Getting a clinical trial from contract to go-live can take months. For sponsors working to deliver therapies to patients who need them, the startup window is one of the most persistent drags on timelines—and one of the hardest to compress.  

Today, Suvoda, a global clinical trial technology company and a recognized leader in the RTSM space, announced agentic RTSM: the next evolution of Suvoda IRT that uses agentic AI to take a study from project kickoff to User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in as little as two weeks. 

Agentic RTSM is part of a broader AI strategy that, together with Suvoda’s AI assistant Sofia, delivers three outcomes for sponsors and study teams: 

In Suvoda RTSM, multiple AI agents accelerate distinct phases of the study build—including software configuration, customization, and testing—and speed up change orders. Because agentic RTSM is built on the patented Suvoda Platform, it leverages the Virtual Partition architecture and the code generation capabilities of the platform’s low-code/no-code tools, rather than rebuilding from scratch for each build. It also drives rapid agentic setup through access to a shared data layer with comprehensive data on trial configurations that have been refined through Suvoda’s experience with thousands of complex trials. This approach allows Suvoda’s team to focus where it matters most: delivering expert consulting and calm guidance at every stage of the trial. 

“Clinical trials are only becoming more complex and more urgent, and our customers shouldn’t have to deal with technology that slows them down,” said Jagath Wanninayake, CEO, Suvoda. “With agentic RTSM, we’re using AI to remove friction from trial startup—so sponsors can begin enrolling patients sooner, sites get a smarter and more responsive experience, and study teams spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on the work that matters.” 

Suvoda is currently working with a select group of early adopters to deploy agentic RTSM capabilities, solidifying the operational and services foundation to support broader rollout. Suvoda is also enhancing Sofia, its AI assistant, to support monitoring, provide alerts, and take direct actions with appropriate safeguards to support the study process. The company plans to extend the agentic model to eCOA and its financial services products, bringing the same startup speed and consistency to questionnaire-based studies, to participant travel, and to patient and site payments. 

“Our goal is to make every moment in a trial smarter—whether we’re building a complex RTSM system for a study, responding to a protocol amendment, or helping a site coordinator get the right answer in seconds,” said E.K. Koh, Chief Product Officer, Suvoda. “Agentic RTSM is one of the first steps in a broader AI vision. Speed, quality, and experience don’t have to be trade-offs—they can all move forward together.” 

At the heart of Suvoda RTSM is a commitment to the people it serves: the sponsors testing new treatments, the sites running trials, and ultimately the patients waiting for therapies. Faster startup isn’t just an operational metric—it’s a step toward getting medicines to the people who need them sooner.

MOTIV BTK randomized trial met primary efficacy endpoint, with early and sustained clinical benefit in a complex patient population 

SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — REVA Medical, LLC today announced primary endpoint results from the MOTIV BTK randomized pivotal clinical trial evaluating the MOTIV® sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The results were presented today at the Charing Cross International Symposium in London, UK. 

The MOTIV BTK trial met both its primary safety and efficacy endpoints, demonstrating that the MOTIV scaffold provides a statistically significant improvement in clinical outcomes compared to the current standard of care, balloon angioplasty. 

Results of the one-year MOTIV BTK clinical trial showed: 

The trial enrolled a complex CLTI population, including a high proportion of Rutherford 5 patients and challenging lesion characteristics representative of real-world disease. 

“Patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia have limited treatment options and face a high risk of limb loss and mortality,” said Ehrin Armstrong, MD, MSc, Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Intervention HCA HealthOne Swedish Medical Center, Denver, Colorado and Principal Investigator of the MOTIV BTK trial. “The MOTIV data demonstrate a meaningful and statistically significant improvement over balloon angioplasty, particularly in a complex patient population.” 

CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease, affecting millions of patients worldwide and often leading to severe pain, non-healing wounds, and amputation. Balloon angioplasty remains a primary treatment option in the U.S., but long-term vessel patency remains a significant challenge. The MOTIV bioresorbable scaffold is designed to open blocked arteries, support the vessel during healing, and then gradually be reabsorbed by the body, restoring the vessel without leaving a permanent implant. 

In addition, the MOTIV scaffold is designed with full radiopacity, enabling physicians to directly visualize the scaffold during implantation and optimize placement in complex below-the-knee anatomy. 

“The MOTIV trial results represent a significant advancement for patients in the treatment of below-the-knee disease,” said Jeffrey Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of REVA Medical. “The magnitude of benefit observed, along with early and sustained clinical improvement, reinforces the potential of bioresorbable scaffold technology to address a critical unmet need in this high-risk patient population.” 

The MOTIV BTK trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the MOTIV scaffold compared to balloon angioplasty in patients with infrapopliteal arterial disease.

NORDERSTEDT and BABENHAUSEN, Germany, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — tesa, an international manufacturer of innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions, and technology company AUMOVIO, a spin-off of Continental’s Automotive business unit, will work more closely together going forward. Together, the partners are introducing a new solution for the mechanical integration of automotive displays. 

In automotive display manufacturing, adhesive solutions are the primary technology used to meet growing demand for sleek and ultra-thin frames. In cooperation with AUMOVIO, tesa is now taking the next step. The new solution combines state-of-the-art bonding technology with optimized material usage and pioneering concepts – enabling a controlled, detachable adhesive bond that simplifies corrections during production and repairs throughout the entire product life cycle. 

Precision meets durable, selectively detachable adhesive bonding 

The new process uses an adhesive tape applied robotically. The bond is instantly load-bearing and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. At the same time, it can be detached as required, allowing display assemblies to be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service – without having to replace the entire display module. 

“This partnership demonstrates how innovative materials technology is advancing the mobility of tomorrow. Together with AUMOVIO, we offer automated adhesive bonds that not only provide long-term durability but can also be deliberately debonded – enabling efficient production, longer product life cycles, and circular product concepts. This helps our customers translate their sustainability goals into tangible product solutions,” says David Caro, Head of Automotive at tesa. 

Pavel Prouza, Head of the User Experience business area (UX) of AUMOVIO, explains, “The combination of highly precise, automated application and targeted detachability adds an important element to our manufacturing and quality processes. It strengthens the robustness of our production, reduces material waste, and promotes efficient use of valuable components. For the end customer, this could even mean that future repairs may require replacing only the affected individual components in a cost-effective way.” 

More sustainable display solution: securely bonded but still detachable 

The new system is a significant step toward the future, combining the proven advantages of viscoelastic adhesive bonds with properties that support circularity. The bond requires no curing time and reliably compensates for material expansion across the full temperature range typically encountered in automotive environments. Thanks to its fully automated application, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. With a tape width of only 2 mm, it enables exceptionally narrow display bezels similar to those seen in smartphones. 

At the same time, the bond can be detached as required. Display assemblies can be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service without replacing the entire display module. 

tesa and AUMOVIO use adhesive tapes featuring Debonding on Demand technology, which allows the bond to be selectively detached with little effort. 

This facilitates the replacement of individual display units during the product’s life cycle as well as recycling at the end of the vehicle’s service life. AUMOVIO is already in discussions with automotive manufacturers on the implementation of recycling and repair programs for selected components. The solution supports the circular economy, making a tangible contribution to AUMOVIO’s sustainability strategy by creating long-term economic, social, and environmental value through innovative mobility solutions. 

With the official launch of the partnership, tesa and AUMOVIO are now preparing integration of this new solution into volume production for the second quarter of 2026. 

About tesa SEAs a multinational company, tesa has been developing innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions for various industries, commercial customers, and end consumers for more than 125 years. There are already more than 7,000 tesa adhesive solutions that help improve the work, products or lives of our customers.

As the world’s first GMS-certified Android 14 indoor monitor, AKClaw seamlessly combines this vast ecosystem with OpenClaw’s natural language understanding and long-term memory, enabling it to function as a highly proactive life assistant. For instance, when AKClaw detects a conflict between users’ commands and Google Calendar, it proactively notifies the user and offers intelligent alternatives to ensure seamless daily management. 

Proactive NVR Synergy 

Supporting third-part NVR integration, AKClaw leverages LLMs for real-time secondary analysis of anomalies. Beyond basic alerts, it delivers intelligent insights and response measures directly to mobile devices via IM, enabling proactive security management with absolute precision. AKClaw doesn’t just display—it understands. 

Omni-Sensing & Intelligent Strategy 

Supporting the integration of external sensors, AKClaw provides omni-sensing awareness. Upon detection, LLM-powered alerts and response measures are pushed via IM, enabling proactive remote intervention through integrated smart home devices to neutralize risks and minimize damage with absolute precision. 

Boundless Future-Proof Innovation 

Moving far beyond basic home and security functions, AKClaw offers limitless possibilities through a vast, ever-expanding library of skills. Users can freely select and combine these diverse capabilities to define their own AKClaw, creating a truly bespoke intelligent agent tailored to their unique lifestyle. 

From proactive security to seamless life assistance, AKClaw redefines the indoor monitor. By merging GMS-certified ecosystem with OpenClaw’s vast skill library, it creates an infinitely scalable AI agent—transforming the control center into an evolving, intelligent brain for the future of smart living.
