HONG KONG, January 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In 2026, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry reached another critical turning point. Demis Hassabis, Nobel Prize winner and CEO of Google DeepMind, made a pivotal assertion: the true trillion-dollar opportunity in AI lies not in computing chips, but in “Physical AI”—systems capable of perceiving, understanding, and transforming the real world. Having earned a Nobel Prize for his breakthrough work on AlphaFold, which validated AI’s scientific value, Hassabis’ latest outlook has attracted widespread attention in capital markets. It has also brought 51WORLD (6651.HK), a Hong Kong-listed company focused on Physical AI, into the spotlight.Hassabis pointed out that current AI faces a bottleneck of "intelligence fragmentation": while excelling at digital tasks such as text generation, it struggles to grasp basic physical laws like gravity and spatial continuity. The missing "world model" stands as the final barrier to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). More critically, the poor adaptability of existing data formats leads to computing power waste and low energy efficiency, making energy supply a potential core variable in future AI competition. Physical AI, by constructing a digital environment that closely mirrors reality, holds the key to resolving this series of challenges.As China's first listed company specializing in Physical AI, 51WORLD's strategic layout aligns perfectly with this trend. Deeply rooted in the fields of digital twin and simulation, the company has independently developed the AES Digital Twin Base and 51Sim Simulation Platform, establishing the core infrastructure for Physical AI. The implementation of Physical AI requires breaking through three key elements: synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms. Leveraging its massive 3D asset library and 3DGS/4DGS reconstruction technology, 51WORLD has achieved 90% authenticity and 100% scene controllability for synthetic data, providing AI with data support that adheres to physical laws.Its AES Base enables full-scale replication—from micro-components to macro-cities—endowing AI with "physical intuition." Combined with the Clonova Interaction Platform and Aperdata Implementation Platform, it has created a closed loop from digital cognition to physical execution. In embodied intelligence, the ultimate application of Physical AI, 51WORLD has delivered tangible results: it empowers over 100 global intelligent driving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, testing institutions, universities, and research institutes with closed-loop simulation training solutions, helping clients build safe, efficient, and mass-producible verification systems for intelligent driving systems.51WORLD's resilience stems from its commitment to underlying technologies. During the previous R&D cycle, the company established a leading position in China's Physical AI market. With a new round of large-scale R&D investment in synthetic data, spatial intelligence models, and simulation training platforms, it has solved the cross-scenario generalization challenge of Physical AI—aligning seamlessly with Hassabis' vision of a universal world model. Financial data shows sustained strong revenue growth for the company, and the explosive demand for the 51Sim Platform underscores the industry's urgent need for high-reliability Physical AI simulation technology.Hassabis predicts that over the next five years, AI will enter the era of automated experimentation, requiring digital environments that accurately simulate physical parameters. This aligns closely with 51WORLD's direction of evolving toward a "universal world model" and integrating generative AI.

SAN DIEGO, Jan 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In its latest demonstration of advanced autonomy development, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully executed a mission autonomy flight using its MQ-20 Avenger® jet equipped with the latest government reference autonomy software. The test included a live engagement between the MQ-20 and an aggressor aircraft flown by an onboard human pilot, highlighting the advanced maturity of autonomous systems, seamless integration of mission elements, and the ability of autonomy to leverage onboard sensors to make independent decisions and execute complex tasks.GA-ASI's Avenger jet has served as a surrogate for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for more than five years, both before and since the arrival of GA-ASI's purpose-built XQ-67A and YFQ-42A aircraft. The recent Avenger demo began with planning in the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), followed by loading the mission profile onto the MQ-20. Once airborne, the team confirmed positive transfer between mission autonomy and flight autonomy systems, demonstrating the systems' ability to dynamically adapt to mission requirements. The MQ-20 showcased adherence to operator-assigned Keep-Out Zones (KOZ) and Keep-In Zones (KIZ), which it avoided during all mission phases. In other words, the aircraft flew exactly where it was supposed to and stayed away from areas where it was not.One of the highlights of the demonstration was the MQ-20's use of a live Infrared Search and Track (IRST) sensor from Anduril to passively range a live target aircraft in flight. Using this sensor data, the autonomy system independently established a track, calculated an intercept solution, and simulated the firing of a weapon at a live target - showcasing the ability of autonomy to close on a target using onboard sensors and its own logic, without human intervention. The simulated shot, if real, would have destroyed the target.Additional mission elements included the MQ-20 flying a pre-designated route to a standard instrument hold - in which the aircraft pauses and orbits, as real human pilots frequently do on real missions, before continuing to another waypoint or objective - and executing routes commanded via Heading, Speed, and Altitude (HSA), all while successfully avoiding the designated keep-out zones.This demonstration reinforces GA-ASI's commitment to advancing Human-Machine Teaming and highlights the growing sophistication of autonomous systems in using sensor data and onboard decision-making to execute complex mission profiles for the warfighter. It also highlights GA-ASI's ongoing commitment to investment and experimentation of new capabilities for America's warfighters.In 2023, GA-ASI announced a partnership with Divergent Technologies, Inc., to support additive manufacturing development efforts and implement a full digital manufacturing process for GA-ASI's products. In 2024, GA-ASI collaborated with U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command to integrate and launch the Altius 600 loitering munition, also built by Anduril, and teamed with Dillion Aero to integrate that company's DAP-6 gun pods for a live-fire demonstration with GA-ASI's revolutionary new Mojave STOL aircraft. In 2025, GA-ASI partnered with Shield AI for two flight demonstrations on the Avenger using the company's Hivemind mission autonomy software.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Materials research generates vast amounts of data, but the information often exists in manufacturer-specific formats and the terminology is inconsistent, making it difficult to aggregate, compare, and reuse. Traditionally, researchers have had to spend considerable time on tedious tasks, such as format conversion, metadata assignment, and characteristics extraction. These extra steps can make researchers reluctant to share data, hindering the advancement of data-driven work. The problem is made even more acute by the field’s increasing reliance on AI-driven materials discovery, which requires high-quality datasets.A highly flexible data system automatically interprets a variety of experimental data, and stores it in a format with enhanced readability for materials informatics.To address this problem, researchers at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed Research Data Express (RDE), a highly flexible data management system for materials scientists. Published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, RDE automatically interprets experimental data from raw files and manually inputted measurements. It then restructures and stores this information in a format with enhanced readability.“RDE significantly reduces the burden of routine data processing for researchers and enhances data findability, interoperability, reusability (the FAIR principles), and traceability,” explains Jun Fujima, corresponding author and researcher at NIMS’s Materials Data Platform. “We hope this will promote collaborative, data-driven materials research.” Many systems of a similar purpose usually “define” the data format. In contrast, the RDE’s core innovation “Dataset Template” defines and directs how data from different types of experiments should be processed. For example, if a researcher uploads spreadsheets of X-ray measurements from different sources, the Dataset Template can be configured to interpret them. The system then automatically performs advanced analyses and creates visualizations to provide an immediate overview. Multiple templates can be prepared for different materials research themes, allowing for maximum flexibility in data management. A custom template can also be easily prepared by individual researchers if necessary. Many templates have already been prepared and shared among users.“RDE’s unique approach allows researchers to freely define data structures tailored to their instruments, while enabling the system to perform massive data structuring and metadata extraction automatically,” says Fujima.Since its launch in January 2023, RDE has been widely adopted across Japan’s materials research community, demonstrating its scalability. To date, it has over 5,000 users, with more than 1,900 Dataset Templates for various experimental methods implemented, over 16,000 datasets created, and more than three million data files accumulated. The system serves as a data infrastructure for major national initiatives, including the Materials Research DX Platform initiative promoted by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The NIMS team has released an open-source software toolkit (RDEToolKit) to encourage use of the system within the research community.Further informationJun FujimaNational Institute for Materials Science FUJIMA.Jun@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2025.2597702 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

HONG KONG, January 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair were organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), while the Stationery & School Supplies Fair was jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. The four-day physical fairs attracted some 82,000 buyers from 121 countries and regions, fostering cross-regional trade and cross-section cooperation. Opening to both trade buyers and the public, the newly launched “Pop & Play” pavilion was a big draw at the Toys & Games Fair and attracted some 10,000 public visits. The pavilion helped local toy brands connect with global buyers to expand into international markets, further unleashing the commercial potential of their IPs, while also enabling Chinese Mainland and overseas brands and IPs to engage directly with local fans of trendy toys and collectibles.Over 41,000 buyers visited the Toys & Games Fair, while some 27,000 and some 14,000 buyers attended the Baby Products Fair and Stationery & School Supplies Fair respectively. Buyers from outside Hong Kong primarily came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand from the ASEAN bloc, Korea, India and the US. Buyers from nearby Macao, ASEAN’s Vietnam, Belgium and Poland from Europe and South Africa also recorded double-digit growth. The fairs adopted the HKTDC’s hybrid EXHIBITION+ model, which includes the physical shows along with online access through the Click2Match smart business matching platform, which will continue connecting exhibitors and buyers until 22 January.Jenny Koo, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “This year's trio of fairs brought together more than 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, attracting 82,000 global buyers to attend and kickstarting the HKTDC's busy calendar of events in 2026. The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion at the Toys & Games Fair proved to be highly popular, showcasing 150 trendy IPs alongside various fair premieres and global limited-edition collectibles. Representatives from diverse industries and sectors were keen to explore the commercial potential of different IPs and discuss cross-industry collaboration opportunities. The pavilion was also open to members of the public, with large numbers of visitors checking in, snapping photos and engaging directly with exhibitors. We believe the fair can amplify IP value through cultural integration, brand collaborations and market strategies, helping local brands to take their businesses beyond Hong Kong and onto the international stage."“Pop & Play” pavilion drove cross-industry IP collaborations, opened to public to promote interaction between industry and fansThe three fairs continued with the theme “New Play for All”, with the enduring popularity of trendy and collectible toys injecting strong growth momentum into the toy industry. The new “Pop & Play” pavilion brought together popular international and local IPs. Hong Kong exhibitor Matrix Promotion showcased 11 original local IPs and presented a series of fair-exclusive debut products. Founder and CEO Ray Leung said: “Combining B2C elements with B2B provides an energetic atmosphere that makes it easier to facilitate collaborations and build relationships with potential partners. Through the online and offline business matchings, we established around 50 local business contacts. These included not only toy industry buyers, but also cross-industry cooperation opportunities, such as with theme parks, loyalty programmes, digital commerce platforms, finance and insurance companies. These mainly involve designing exclusive premium items for clients based on their own IPs, which is currently a major trend in the market.”Onsite sales of IP products were also brisk. IP character B.Duck has long been popular in both Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong Sales Representative for the company, Lai Chi-ying, shared: “The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion successfully integrates B2B and B2C elements, reaffirming that trendy collectibles remain a key industry trend locally and globally. During the fair, we connected with 30 potential clients — mainly toy distributors — from countries including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Dubai, Russia, and North America. Our blind boxes also were a big hit with visitors, selling over 100 units in a short time. We expect participation in the event to contribute around 10% of our annual business growth.”Meanwhile, trendy toy enthusiast Mr. Hung visited the pavilion, saying: “The ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion offers an attractive and rich selection. We could appreciate many popular local and international trendy toy IPs, as well as the latest hot anime and IP-licensed products. It’s the perfect spot for exploring trendy collectibles and pop culture merchandise. The variety of trendy toys available for sale onsite is remarkably diverse. I spent around HK$2,000 and picked up multiple items including IP T-shirts, keychains, figurines, and Marvel toys – it was a truly fruitful visit!"Hong Kong toy exhibitor draws buyers’ attention with self-developed AI toysEastcolight (Hong Kong) Limited, a long-time participant at the Toys & Games Fair, showcased its self-developed artificial intelligence (AI) interactive story machine this year. Co-founder Salley Sze said: “With AI becoming a core market trend, our latest toy products now incorporate AI-assisted learning features. These AI products alone are expected to generate at least US$1 million in annual sales through the fair, while our other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) product lines are projected to achieve US$2 million sales.”Happy Ageing label saw rising demand as sustainable toys remained popularWith ageing populations becoming a global reality, toys and games designed specifically for seniors or intergenerational family fun are now a rapidly growing market. The new Happy Ageing label was introduced at this year’s Toys & Games Fair to help identify products in this category. Peri Chow, Director of FritzS Learning (Hong Kong), said: “The new label has greatly helped our market expansion. During the fair, we connected with approximately 30 new clients from different industries and regions, including the Chinese Mainland, Germany, the Philippines, South Africa and Spain, such as nursing home caregivers and buyers for children’s toys.”Sustainable consumption continued to be a key focus across the fairs. In addition to the Green Toys zone at the Toys & Games Fair, both the toys and stationery fairs continued to employ the Green Solutions green leaf label, further facilitating the procurement of eco-friendly products. This year, over 400 exhibitors displayed the green leaf logo, double the number compared to 2024. DeAgostini Collectibles from Spain is a global publisher and distributor of collectibles. Sourcing Manager CMC, Sandra Lopez Herrero said, "We are particularly interested in sustainable design, especially the battery-free, hydraulic-powered eco-friendly toys exhibited by a Chinese Mainland supplier. We plan to place an order worth around US$1 million. The green leaf label, along with the Click2Match and Scan2Match platforms, have helped us track products and stay updated on emerging trends, such as the use of eco-friendly materials and the integration of artificial intelligence in toys."At the Baby Products Fair, the World of Strollers and Gear and ODM Strollers and Gear zones together hosted approximately 230 exhibitors, with an increase in both exhibitor numbers and fair areas compared to last year. The Selection of Europe pavilion returned in 2026 together with the Korean and Hong Kong Children, Babies, Maternity Industries Association pavilions. Among the European exhibitors, Swedish exhibitor AXKID expressed recognition of Hong Kong’s role as an international trade and innovation hub. Managing Director Roger Yan said: “As a leading city in innovation, Hong Kong helps us expand our market and reach more international customers. During the fair, we met buyers from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Japan, and Türkiye. One Bulgarian client has already placed an order for 2,000 child safety seats, valued at approximately €1.7 million. We will definitely exhibit again next year.”Jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, this year’s Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair welcomed Blaxall Optics Low Vision Limited from New Zealand for the first time. Company Director Gang Cheng said: "We showcased a range of optical magnifiers and related products and connected with 10 new buyers from Hong Kong, Macao, Poland, Thailand and more at the physical fair and through the Click2Match smart-matching platform. We anticipate these contacts will bring at least a 5% annual growth to our business, equivalent to US$100,000 in orders."Asian Toy & Games Forum explored key issues for toy manufacturersThe flagship Asian Toys & Games Forum was held during the Toys & Games Fair. Themed “Empowering the Toy Industry for Global Success”, the forum invited industry experts and guest speakers to discuss the latest industry updates and developments. Loo Wee Teck, Global Insights Manager, Toys and Games, Euromonitor International, shared insights on the toys and games market outlook and opportunities, while Alex Lin, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Consumer Products, Greater China and Korea, The Walt Disney Company, covered the global IP ecosystem and merchandising strategies.For more comments from exhibitors and buyers, please visit the following websites:- Toys and Games Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hktoyfair/en/success-stories- Baby Products Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkbabyfair/en/success-stories- Stationery & School Supplies Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkstationeryfair/en/success-storiesPhoto download: https://bit.ly/49IAOHhThe 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, the 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
