COREGLIA – Paura nel primo pomeriggio di oggi in Mediavalle per un doppio evento sismico che ha fatto tremare la terra in provincia di Lucca, venendo chiaramente avvertito dalla popolazione di diversi comuni.

La prima scossa, la più intensa, è stata registrata dai sismografi dell’Istituto nazionale di geofisica e vulcanologia alle 15,06. L’epicentro è stato localizzato a 6 chilometri a nord-est del comune di Coreglia Antelminelli, ad una profondità di 9 chilometri. Il movimento tellurico ha raggiunto una magnitudo di 3.2 ed è stato avvertito nitidamente dai residenti della zona e dei centri limitrofi.

Appena tre minuti più tardi, alle 15,09, si è verificata una seconda scossa di assestamento. Il nuovo evento sismico ha registrato una magnitudo di 2.6 ed è stato localizzato con il medesimo epicentro.

Subito dopo le scosse la macchina dei controlli e della protezione civile si è messa in moto per le verifiche del caso sul territorio. Fortunatamente, secondo le prime ricognizioni e le informazioni raccolte presso i comandi dei vigili del fuoco e le forze dell’ordine, non si registrano danni a cose o persone, né segnalazioni di criticità particolari alle strutture, pur avendo generato apprensione tra i cittadini.

On a pro-forma basis, former GeoPura shareholders hold approximately 14.1% of Ballard’s outstanding common shares. Ballard may pay up to £27.5 million in additional contingent consideration upon GeoPura’s achievement of specified post-closing financial milestones. 

Effective with closing, Andrew Cunningham has assumed the role of President of Ballard, reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Marty Neese. In addition, Andrew Cunningham and Lord Richard Harrington, former UK Business and Industry Minister and Chairman of GeoPura, have joined Ballard’s Board of Directors as nominees designated by the former GeoPura shareholders.

XUZHOU, China, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XCMG has announced that the first main unit of the world’s first 14,000-ton ring crane has rolled off the production line, marking a historic breakthrough in ultra-heavy lifting technology. Jointly developed by XCMG and Sinopec Heavy Lifting & Transportation Co., Ltd., the crane will be the largest-capacity ring crane ever built, setting a new benchmark for major construction projects worldwide. 

The crane features a modular configuration comprising two main units that work in tandem. The first main unit has completed final assembly and can independently perform lifting operations. Once both units are completed and integrated, the crane will have a maximum lifting capacity of 14,000 tons and a maximum lifting moment of 700,000 ton-meters, with several key performance specifications expected to lead the industry. 

“This crane is more than an incremental improvement; it represents a transformative leap for the global heavy-lifting industry,” said Yang Dongsheng, chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery. “Our partnership with Sinopec has created a new integrated model spanning R&D, manufacturing and application, setting an industry benchmark for independent innovation and engineering application of major technical equipment.” 

The ring crane also features a pioneering electric direct-drive system that converts electric power directly into motion, delivering energy savings of more than 30%, boosting operating efficiency by 20%, and reducing fuel costs and carbon emissions. 

As nuclear power projects worldwide become larger and more modular, demand is rising for ultra-heavy lifting equipment. The 14,000-ton ring crane marks a major step in the growing role of Chinese-developed high-end lifting equipment in nuclear power construction worldwide. It can serve conventional energy, nuclear power and wind power projects. For conventional energy, it can lift a range of large towers and vessels as complete units, replacing sectional lifting and reducing risks in assembly, pressure testing and other installation work. In nuclear power construction, it delivers a world-first capability: from a single crane position and using a single boom configuration, it can handle plant modules and major equipment for two nuclear islands. For offshore wind, its lifting height and capacity enable the installation of larger-capacity turbines. 

Yang added: “XCMG will continue to advance the independent development of ultra-large engineering equipment, bring proven, reliable solutions to a wider range of engineering applications, and provide customers worldwide with safer, more efficient and energy-saving construction solutions.”

Image2: https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M109196/202608244577/_prw_PI2fl_GySwdn17.jpg  

Akiko’s Piano is a historic upright piano built in 1926 that was damaged by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Following its restoration in 2005, it has been performed by many musicians, including Martha Argerich, and has continued to carry a message of peace through its sound. 

To carry this historic sound into the future, Casio has been advancing the “Akiko’s Piano” Digital Instrument Sound Project, carefully recording the sound of each of the piano’s 88 keys and reconstructing it as a digital sound source. 

During the festival, CASIO presented a dedicated CASIO CELVIANO booth at Laeiszhalle, the festival venue, where visitors experienced the sound of Akiko’s Piano as realized through CELVIANO, a Casio digital piano. Many visitors expressed strong appreciation for the project’s purpose, as well as keen interest in the sound of Akiko’s Piano carried forward through CELVIANO. 

On June 27, the Akiko’s Piano digital sound source was featured as part of the musical score for the stage production “The Postman of Nagasaki,” with pianist Akane Sakai performing the piece live on CELVIANO. 

This was followed on June 29 by the world premiere of “Akiko’s Piano – Piano Concerto No. 4” by composer Dai Fujikura, presented as part of an orchestral concert. Performed by Sakai using the Akiko’s Piano digital sound source through CELVIANO, the work was inspired by the story of Akiko’s Piano. The performance was met with an enthusiastic response from the audience, culminating in a standing ovation. 

The “Akiko’s Piano” Digital Instrument Sound Project represents a new approach to preserving cultural heritage by using digital technology to record and carry forward the sound of a historic piano while passing it on to future generations as a playable digital sound source. 

Casio will continue working to preserve cultural heritage through music technology while sharing with the world — across generations and borders — the wish for peace embodied by Akiko’s Piano.

Broad-based growth across consumer electronics, communications and data center, and automotive electronics, supported by targeted investment in AI infrastructure, intelligent vehicles and global delivery capacity 

DONGGUAN, China, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (“Luxshare Precision” or the “Company”) (SZSE: 002475; HKEX: 02475), a global provider of precision intelligent manufacturing solutions, today announced unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. 

Revenue increased 40.2% year over year to RMB 174.50 billion, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 18.0% to RMB 7.84 billion. Net profit attributable to shareholders excluding non-recurring gains and losses increased 6.5% to RMB 5.96 billion. Gross margin expanded by 17 basis points to 11.78%. 

The margin improvement reflected operating leverage and a more diversified revenue mix, with faster growth in Communications and Data Center and Automotive Electronics, both of which carry gross margins above the Company average. Internal innovation, AI-enabled manufacturing efficiency and disciplined cost management also helped absorb pressure from foreign-exchange movements, higher input costs and investment in new businesses. 

“Our first-half performance demonstrates the resilience of Luxshare Precision’s diversified portfolio and global operating platform,” said Wang Laichun, Chairwoman and General Manager of Luxshare Precision. “We are investing with discipline in areas supported by clear customer demand and defined technology roadmaps, particularly AI-enabled devices, AI infrastructure and intelligent vehicles. Our priorities remain execution, operating efficiency and sustainable value creation.”

Research and development investment increased 43.1% to RMB 6.57 billion, primarily reflecting higher spending on engineering talent, tooling, materials and certification. More than half of the Company’s R&D investment supported technology preparation for programs approaching commercialization. 

Capital expenditures totaled RMB 10.27 billion, up RMB 742 million year over year, and were mainly directed toward overseas facility expansion, supporting infrastructure and new product lines. The Company prioritizes investments linked to customer programs, localized delivery and long-term manufacturing flexibility. 

Inventory was RMB 50.37 billion at June 30, 2026, up 19.0% from year-end 2025, below the Company’s 40.2% revenue growth. The increase primarily reflected business expansion and strategic material preparation for selected products. 

First-half operating cash flow was an outflow of RMB 2.45 billion, mainly due to seasonal supplier payments and more than RMB 5 billion of strategic inventory preparation. Operating cash flow turned positive in the second quarter, reaching RMB 4.62 billion. 

Foreign-exchange volatility resulted in approximately RMB 1.99 billion of losses on foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign-exchange risk management activities generated approximately RMB 1.30 billion in related gains. Under applicable accounting treatment, these gains were recorded as non-recurring items, while the corresponding losses remained within both disclosed net profit measures. 

Growth Across Three Core Businesses 

Consumer Electronics revenue increased 19.3% to RMB 122.48 billion. Luxshare Precision continued to deepen core customer relationships and strengthen its ODM and end-to-end product development capabilities. By integrating expertise across acoustics, optics, electrical systems, thermal management, magnetics and precision structures, the Company is extending its participation from components and modules to product definition, system development and volume manufacturing.

“NICE’s recommendation marks a milestone towards establishing hypothermic oxygenated perfusion as the standard of care in liver transplantation,” said Don Webber, CEO and President of Bridge to Life™ Ltd. “Europe has embraced HOPE for well over a decade, demonstrating its value for perfusion therapy across the region. Validation from a respected body like NICE provides additional confidence in HOPE’s clinical and economic advantages at a time when U.S. physicians are being introduced to this technology following our FDA De Novo clearance. VitaSmart™ was specifically engineered to deliver these clinically proven results in a simple, scalable, and cost-efficient format.” 

The VitaSmart™ system utilizes HOPE to supply an oxygenated solution to donor livers prior to transplantation. Built for operational simplicity, ease of adoption, and capital efficiency, VitaSmart™ seamlessly integrates into clinical workflows without the operational complexity or heavy cost structure associated with normothermic systems. In addition to the U.S. and U.K., VitaSmart™ is available in Europe, Saudi Arabia, India, and in all countries accepting the CE mark. 

“Routine NHS funding for systems like VitaSmart signals a new era for liver transplantation programs in the UK,” said Rebeca Sanabria Mateos, Consultant Liver Transplant Surgeon at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. “Having equitable access to efficient, user-friendly perfusion technology allows our surgical teams to safely and confidently utilize extended-criteria donor organs, streamline operating room logistics, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for our patients.” 

With broad international adoption across Europe and rapid commercial growth in the U.S. following its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) De Novo clearance, Bridge to Life remains committed to advancing evidence-based preservation science that expands the donor pool and improves patient care worldwide.

FIRENZE – La difesa del suolo una delle priorità per la Regione, uno degli impegni che negli ultimi anni hanno modificato il modo di intervenire e la quantità di risorse da destinare. Soprattutto alla luce dei cambiamenti climatici.

Il presidente Eugenio Giani ne ha parlato stamattina, illustrando le misure previste dal Documento operativo per la difesa del suolo 2026, il Dods, che impiegheranno per il 2026 circa 28 milioni di euro per 46 interventi. A questi si aggiungono 60 milioni di euro provenienti dal Pnrr, per interventi che si sono conclusi al 30 giugno 2026, e altri 25 arrivati dal Piano Nazionale 2025 (con procedure di affidamento dei lavori in corso), portando il totale a 113 milioni tra 2026 e 2027.

“La difesa del suolo è diventata una delle priorità assolute della Regione e una delle voci più importanti del nostro impegno nelle opere pubbliche – sottolinea Giani –. I cambiamenti climatici hanno modificato radicalmente lo scenario nel quale siamo chiamati a intervenire: eventi meteorologici sempre più intensi e concentrati ci impongono non soltanto di aumentare le risorse, ma di cambiare l’approccio alla sicurezza del territorio. Il Documento operativo per la difesa del suolo rappresenta un passaggio importante di questa strategia, con quasi 28 milioni di euro destinati a interventi che saranno realizzati direttamente dalla Regione attraverso il Genio Civile oppure insieme a Consorzi di bonifica, Comuni e altri enti del territorio. A queste risorse si affiancano gli interventi già portati avanti e le grandi opere sulle quali stiamo investendo, a partire dalle casse di espansione dell’Arno. Dopo Pizziconi, già realizzata, stiamo lavorando a Restone e a Prulli: opere strategiche che, una volta completate, consentiranno complessivamente di trattenere circa 15 milioni di metri cubi d’acqua in caso di piena, aumentando in maniera decisiva la sicurezza idraulica dell’Arno e dei territori a valle”.

Sostenibilità ambientale, cantierabilità e massima efficacia rispetto alla mitigazione del rischio idraulico ed idrogeologico sono alcuni dei criteri adottati per la progettazione in tutta la Toscana. Gli interventi sono di competenza regionale o realizzati con i Consorzi, i Comuni e le Province interessate, previa stipula di apposite convenzioni.

“Oggi – prosegue Giani – la sfida non riguarda più soltanto i grandi fiumi. È necessario intervenire in maniera sempre più capillare sul reticolo idraulico minore, perché gli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici fanno sì che anche torrenti e corsi d’acqua di dimensioni ridotte possano diventare rapidamente un elemento di rischio. Servono nuovi argini, casse di espansione, interventi sugli alvei e soprattutto una conoscenza sempre più approfondita del territorio, accompagnata dalle risorse e dal personale necessari. Gli eventi degli ultimi anni ci hanno confermato che prevenire significa agire prima e farlo nei luoghi giusti. È questo il salto di qualità che la Toscana sta compiendo: mettere la sicurezza del territorio e dei cittadini al centro della programmazione regionale, con una capacità di investimento che nel 2026 arriverà complessivamente a circa 200 milioni di euro. La prevenzione non può più essere considerata un intervento straordinario: deve diventare una componente strutturale delle politiche pubbliche”.

MONACO DI BAVIERA, 27 agosto 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei si prepara per un importante lancio di prodotti previsto per il 2 settembre a Monaco di Baviera, in Germania, dove presenterà una nuova serie di dispositivi nell’ambito della sua campagna globale “Chase the Wild”. 

Durante l’evento, l’azienda lancerà una gamma completa di prodotti che comprendono smartwatch, tablet, smartphone e dispositivi audio, tutti progettati per integrare la tecnologia nello sport, nella salute, nella creatività e nell’esplorazione. L’obiettivo: aiutare gli utenti a inseguire le loro passioni e ad abbracciare uno stile di vita definito da libertà e intenzione. 

Protagonista dell’evento è la serie HUAWEI WATCH GT 7, il nuovo orologio sportivo di punta dell’azienda. Offre un’esperienza indossabile che eleva lo standard premium in quattro aree chiave: design audace, prestazioni esterne migliorate, gestione completa della salute e durata della batteria ultra estesa che tiene il passo con uno stile di vita attivo. 

La serie HUAWEI WATCH 6, un altro smartwatch di punta, è tornata sul mercato europeo dopo un anno di pausa. Presenta un nuovo look raffinato, funzionalità più intelligenti, una gestione della salute più olistica e un’analisi basata sull’IA in diversi sport. 

Nel campo della tecnologia sanitaria, Huawei presenterà lo HUAWEI WATCH D3 nuova generazione, un orologio per il monitoraggio della pressione sanguigna che ha recentemente ottenuto la certificazione CE-MDR in Europa. Con il tracciamento di livello medico, segna un vero passo avanti nella gestione digitale della pressione sanguigna. 

Oltre agli orologi intelligenti, Huawei rinnova anche la sua linea di prodotti generale. Lo HUAWEI MatePad Pro 12-inch è un nuovo tablet di punta realizzato per la creatività e la produttività, che consente agli utenti di lavorare e creare liberamente da qualsiasi luogo. La serie audio HUAWEI FreeBuds Neo debutta a livello globale, offrendo auricolari eleganti e ad alte prestazioni con soppressione del rumore che fondono lo stile personale con un suono immersivo. E la serie HUAWEI nova 16s fa il suo ingresso sulla scena mondiale con funzionalità aggiornate e fotografia ritratto potenziata per un’esperienza mobile più fluida e piacevole. 

Huawei si è sempre concentrata sull’uso dell’innovazione per migliorare la vita quotidiana. La tecnologia, ritiene la società, non è solo uno strumento per mettere in contatto le persone; è anche un compagno essenziale che promuove la crescita, l’esplorazione e la libera espressione della propria personalità. Il lancio di prodotti innovativi nell’ambito di “Chase the Wild” riflette questa visione, con prodotti più intelligenti, più intuitivi e più integrati nelle routine quotidiane. 

Sia che gli utenti perseguano obiettivi di fitness, svolte creative o semplicemente una connessione più profonda con il mondo che li circonda, Huawei fa in modo che la tecnologia li assista, non che sia loro d’intralcio, in modo che possano abbracciare uno stile di vita libero nella loro vita quotidiana.
