FUKUOKA, KAWASAKI and TOKYO – September 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated (Kyushu Electric Power), Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ), QTnet, Inc. (QTnet), 1Finity Inc. (1Finity) and Nautilus Technologies, Inc. (Nautilus Technologies) today announced that a demonstration project for decentralized digital infrastructure construction and verification in the Japanese Kyushu area will be launched from October 2025.The project seeks to achieve an optimal synergy between power resources and computational performance by interconnecting decentralized data centers across the Kyushu area that utilize renewable energy sources, aligned with the “watt-bit collaboration” initiative, promoted by the Japanese government.(*1)BackgroundAmid the rapid increase in demand for data centers with the popularization of AI and cloud services in recent years, concerns over electricity demand and data center site shortages are becoming more pronounced due to the concentration of data centers in urban areas. In response, the Japanese government is working to attract data center sites to regional areas where decarbonized power sources are abundant.(*2)OverviewAs part of the project, small-scale data centers will be deployed across the Kyushu area and interconnected via APN (All-Photonics Network)(*3), which enables communication through optical signals. These data centers will operate as one unified system, allowing seamless data storage and processing regardless of physical location. Furthermore, the network architecture will adopt photonics network interface cards (NICs)(*4) capable of directly handling optical signals, replacing conventional electrical signal-based communication methods.This will be the world’s first attempt to realize interconnection of distributed data centers(*5), a field that is expected to grow in the future, photonics NIC that facilitates low-latency, direct long-distance, high-capacity transmission between servers using optical signals. The direct interconnection of servers will also reduce the placement of various network devices in the network path and thereby reduce power consumption.In addition, the distributed data centers will be equipped with high-performance GPU servers specialized for AI processing. To flexibly utilize data centers located in regions with varying power generation conditions between day and night, the project will verify a technology for distributed databases that enables AI and other processing by accessing data stored across multiple data centers. This approach allows computing to be performed regardless of physical location and supports efficient use of decentralized resources.Future plans are to perform a verification of how this digital technology works with Kyushu’s local energy power grid (power supply system), aiming to create the Kyushu version of “watt-bit collaboration” —a concept that seeks to achieve an optimal balance between energy (watts) and IT processing (bits).Execution Plan- PeriodFrom October 2025 to March 2026- Purpose- Verification of digital technology for the realization of “watt-bit collaboration”- Assessment of the effectiveness of AI processing and distributed databases utilizing decentralized digital infrastructure technology- Implementation details- Distributed placement of data centers: Distributed placement of data center functions in multiple locations in Kyushu (two locations in the initial phase).- Verification of distributed database technology: Verification of how processing performance and power consumption changes with the employment of distributed database technology (Nautilus Technologies’ “Tsurugi”(*6)) in AI processing.- Verification of local LLM / AI graphics processing technology: Verification of effectiveness by carrying out AI arithmetic processing using GPU in a remote environment. This verification will involve simulation of data processing in natural language using the MCP(*7) function of “Tsurugi.”- Verification of APN technology: Verification of APN technology for high-speed interconnection of distributed data centers, and verification by comparison with conventional communications technology.Conceptual diagram of verification implementationCompany-specific roles< Project owner >Kyushu Electric Power: Overall project oversight, and review of the framework of application to its business and adaptation of AI processing among data centers< Project members >IIJ: Overall project design and progress management, overall verification environment setup and demonstration work implementation, and provision and construction of micro data centers (DX edge) and GPU serversQTnet: Provision and construction of core data center and site-to-site connection lines1Finity: Provision and construction of new photonics NIC (Network Interface Card)Nautilus Technologies: Provision and construction of distributed database “Tsurugi”Scope of Project Validation and Vision for the FutureFor inquiries, contact:IIJ Corporate CommunicationsTel: +81-3-5205-6310   E-mail: press@iij.ad.jphttps://www.iij.ad.jp/en* All company, product and service names used in this press release are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.About IIJFounded in 1992, IIJ is one of Japan’s leading Internet-access and comprehensive network solutions providers.

Toyota City, Japan, September 18, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) unveiled a partially upgraded GR Corolla today and announced that orders are now being accepted at Toyota vehicle dealers across Japan, with sales to commence on November 3.GR CorollaImprovements1) Leveraging lessons learned from competing in Japan's Super Taikyu Series, the car's fundamental performance has been enhanced so that it can be put to the test in evermore demanding settings.The body structure has been reinforced to endure vertical and lateral g-forces that are more intense than those typically generated at circuits in Japan.To maintain stable engine output even during prolonged full-throttle driving, a cool air duct has been added to reduce the intake-air temperature during high-load driving.2) The JBL Premium Sound System (factory-installed option) has been improved by equipping the car with an Active Sound Control system and installing a subwoofer in the luggage compartment to enhance comfort for greater enjoyment of everyday driving and create burgling and other sounds that evoke the feeling of motorsports.3) The supply system for the Japanese-market model has been revised to enable delivery to as many customers as possible.This partially improved GR Corolla features an improved body structure and improved intake cooling performance for a driving experience underlined by a high sense of driver-car unity, not only in city driving but also in demanding environments such as at the Nürburgring*1. For TGR and Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda, aka Master Driver Morizo, competing in motorsports is the starting point of making ever-better cars. The birth of the GR Corolla stemmed from Morizo's strong desire to "bring back a Corolla that captivates our customers". The model has continued to evolve by leveraging lessons learned by competing in motorsports, primarily on circuits in Japan, such as in Japan's Super Taikyu Series.Thus far, possibilities for owning a GR Corolla have been limited due to the model only being available through purchasing lotteries since its launch in 2022. However, supply system revisions mean that more customers can now enjoy the GR Corolla's ever-evolving driving experience. Also, for current owners who are already enjoying the GR Corolla, plans are afoot for a software-inclusive upgrade program.TGR's journey of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars is without end. TGR intends to continuously evolve the GR Corolla by incorporating input from a diverse range of drivers.GR Corolla improvementsExtension of structural adhesive application by 13.9 metersStructural adhesive: Conventional lines of application 18.8mStructural adhesive: Extended lines of application 13.9mTo achieve stable driving performance even on overseas circuits, which typically generate more-intense vertical and lateral g-forces than circuits in Japan, the application of structural adhesive has been extended to 32.7 meters-13.9 meters more than such application in the GR Corolla's current RZ trim level-primarily in the front part of the body, floor, and areas around the rear wheel wells. This has enhanced body rigidity while minimizing weight increase. The resulting reinforced body structure enhances the sense of driver-car unity in all situations, from city to circuit driving.Addition of a cool air duct (to the secondary air intake duct) To maintain stable high engine output even when the engine compartment temperature rises during prolonged full-throttle driving, a high-engine-speed-activated cool air duct has been added to the secondary intake duct (located below the air cleaner). The cool air duct draws in outside air directly from the front grille, significantly reducing the intake-air temperature. This stabilizes engine output even under high-temperature conditions such as continuous high-load driving, enabling the GR Corolla's G16E-GTS engine to fully unleash its inherent potential.Subwoofer added to the JBL Premium Sound System, increasing the speakers from 8 to 9The JBL Premium Sound System (factory-installed option*2) has been improved to enhance everyday interior comfort while also delivering an emotional motorsports-evoking sound experience even during city driving. A luggage compartment subwoofer that delivers clearer, more powerful audio has been added, and optimized tuning of the pre-existing Active Noise Control (ANC) reduces interruptive engine noise and other unwanted sounds.Also, vehicles equipped with the JBL Premium Sound System now feature Active Sound Control (ASC), a system that emits sporty sounds through the vehicle's speakers that match changes in vehicle acceleration / deceleration and driving force due to accelerator and shift lever operation, enabling the driver to intuitively grasp vehicle condition. Furthermore, when the accelerator is released, the system generates the signature motorsports sound of burbling (resulting from explosions triggered by the activation of anti-lag control during the exhaust process to reduce turbo lag). This allows safe enjoyment during everyday driving of a sound experience akin to that of driving a racing car. ASC offers three sound patterns tailored to the driving mode, and, in addition to having three volume settings, "OFF", which is the factory setting, can also be selected.For more details, please visit: https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/43287933.htmlToyota Motor Corporation works to develop and manufacture innovative, safe and high-quality products and services that create happiness by providing mobility for all.

TOKYO, September 18, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has recently been awarded a contract from Japan's National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) to manufacture 20 units of outer vertical targets, which are critical components of divertors, for ITER(*1,*2), the experimental fusion reactor currently under construction in southern France.There are plans to install 58 divertors in ITER, and Japan is scheduled to manufacture all 58 outer vertical targets accordingly. Of the total 58 outer vertical targets, MHI has secured orders to handle the initial production batch of 6 units (Units 1-6) and the second production batch of 12 units (Units 7-18). Having now secured an order for a third batch of 20 units, MHI will proceed to handle the manufacturing of all 38 units ordered.This acknowledgement results from the advanced manufacturing and mass production technologies MHI has cultivated through developing the prototype completed in 2024 and the ongoing manufacturing of the actual units. With the remaining 20 units in the pipeline, the company remains committed to advancing the ITER project.The divertor is one of the most core components in the fusion reactor used in the tokamak. It plays a vital role in stabilizing plasma confinement by expelling unburned fuel elements such as helium (He) and impurities generated within the core plasma during fusion reactions.The heat load in the divertor reaches up to 20 MW/m². This is equivalent to the surface thermal load on an asteroid probe upon re-entering the atmosphere and is approximately 30 times the surface thermal load on the space shuttle. The structural design means the outer vertical target facing the plasma is used in a severe environment exposed to thermal loads and particle loads from the plasma. Consequently, its structure features a highly complex shape, requiring leading edge manufacturing and machining technologies.MHI was previously awarded a contract from QST for the manufacture of five (of a total of 19) toroidal field (TF) coils, another core component of ITER, and all five units were shipped(*3) by 2023. The company will continue working on the manufacture of subsequent major components such as divertors and horizontal launchers (*4). Furthermore, MHI will actively support the design and development of the prototype nuclear fusion reactor planned for construction following the ITER project, thereby contributing to the realization of fusion energy.(*1) Fusion is the energy source that enables the sun to keep shining. The ultimate goal is achieving fusion on Earth. Fusion reactions fuse light atomic nuclei (deuterium and tritium) in a plasma environment into the heavier element of helium. Fusion reactions emit zero carbon dioxide, and their source of fuel can be extracted from seawater in virtually unlimited quantities (lithium from which tritium is derived, and deuterium). Fusion energy is expected to provide fundamental solutions to many of the world's energy and environmental problems.(*2) The ITER Project is an international megaproject to demonstrate, both scientifically and technologically, the feasibility of fusion energy. Seven participating parties (Japan, the EU, the U.S., Russia, South Korea, China, and India) are constructing ITER in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, France, with a target for full-fledged operational startup of nuclear fusion combustion by 2035. QST, as the ITER Japan domestic agency for the ITER Project designated by Japanese government, is in charge of procuring these components.(*3) For details on the TF coils for the ITER that QST ordered from MHI, see the following press release.https://www.mhi.com/news/210524.html(*4) This is equipment that heats plasma by introducing high-frequency waves.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

TOKYO - September 17, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akira Shimada; hereinafter "NTT") and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo; President and CEO: Eisaku Ito; hereinafter "MHI") conducted an optical wireless power transmission experiment using laser beam to wirelessly transmit energy 1 kilometer away. By irradiating laser beam with an optical power of 1 kW, we succeeded in receiving 152 W of electric power 1 kilometer away. This marks the world's highest efficiency of an optical wireless power transmission using a silicon photoelectric conversion element(*2) in an environment with strong atmospheric turbulence.This result demonstrates the feasibility of delivering power to distant sites. In the future, it is expected to be applied to on-demand power transmission to remote islands and disaster-stricken areas where power cables cannot be installed.This achievement was published in the British magazine Electronics Letters on August 5, 2025.Figure 1 Schematic diagram of optical wireless power transmission system BackgroundIn recent years, wireless power transmission technologies for devices such as smartphones, wearable devices, drones, and electric vehicles, which can supply electricity without using cables, have garnered increasing attention. There are two types of wireless power transmission systems: one uses microwaves and the other uses laser beams. Microwave wireless power transmission is already in practical use and its use is expanding. On the other hand, optical wireless power transmission using laser beam has not been put into practical use, but it is expected to realize compact long-distance wireless power transmission on the order of kilometers by taking advantage of the high directivity of laser beam (Figure 1).Future prospects envision the development of next-generation infrastructure capable of supplying power and expanding communication coverage in situations and regions where electricity or communication networks are unavailable, such as during disasters, in remote islands, mountainous areas, or at sea. This includes delivering power precisely to specific areas or moving platforms such as drones. Achieving such highly accurate and long-distance power delivery requires laser-based wireless power transmission that takes advantage of its strong directionality.Challenges of existing technologies and achievements of this experimentThe efficiency of optical wireless power transmission technology is generally low, and improvement of efficiency is an issue for practical use. One of the reasons for this is that when long-distance laser beam propagates, especially in the atmosphere, the intensity distribution becomes uneven, and the efficiency of converting laser beam into electric power in the photoelectric conversion element becomes low.In this experiment, we combined NTT's beam shaping technology with MHI's light receiving technology to improve the efficiency of laser wireless power transmission. We conducted a long-distance optical wireless power transmission experiment in an outdoor environment using long-distance flat beam shaping technology that shape the beam at the transmission side to achieve uniform beam intensity after 1 kilometer propagation, and output current leveling technology that suppresses the influence of atmospheric fluctuations with a homogenizer and leveling circuits on the receiving side.From January to February 2025, we conducted an optical wireless power transmission experiment on the runway at the Nanki-Shirahama Airport in Shirahama Town, Nishimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture (Figure 2). A transmission booth equipped with an optical system for emitting laser beam was installed at one end of the runway, and a reception booth containing a light-receiving panel was placed 1 kilometer away.During transmission, the optical axis of the laser was set at a low height of approximately 1meter above the ground and aligned horizontally. As a result, the beam was strongly affected by ground heating and wind, and the experiment was conducted under conditions with strong atmospheric turbulence.Inside the transmission booth, a laser beam with an optical power of 1035 W was generated. Using a diffractive optical element (DOE)(*3), the beam was shaped to create a uniform intensity distribution at a distance of 1 kilometer. In addition, a beam steering mirror was used to precisely direct the shaped beam toward the receiving panel. The beam exited through the aperture of the transmission booth and propagated across 1 kilometer of open space, ultimately reaching the reception booth.During propagation, atmospheric turbulence caused fluctuations in the beam's intensity, creating hot spots. These were diffused by a homogenizer in the reception booth, resulting in a uniform beam being irradiated onto the receiving panel. The laser beam was then efficiently converted into electrical power (Figure 3). A silicon-based photoelectric conversion element was adopted for the receiving panel, taking into account both cost and availability.In this experiment, the average electrical power extracted from the receiving panel was 152 W (Figure 4), corresponding to a wireless power transmission efficiency of 15%, defined as the ratio of received electrical power to transmitted optical power. This result marks the world's highest optical wireless power transmission efficiency ever demonstrated using a silicon-based photoelectric conversion element under conditions of strong atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, continuous power delivery was successfully maintained for 30 minutes, confirming the feasibility of long-duration power transmission using this technology.Figure 2 Scene of the experimentFrom a safety perspective, the optical transmission system and the receiving panel were each installed inside booths to prevent accidental exposure to high-power laser beams and the scattering of reflected light.Figure 3 Schematic diagram of experimental systemFigure 4 Power from the light-receiving panel Technical highlights1. Long-distance flat beam shaping technologyTo improve photoelectric conversion efficiency, it is necessary to make the intensity distribution of the beam incident on the photoelectric conversion element uniform.In this study, we proposed a beam shaping method that enables intensity uniformity after long-distance propagation. In this approach, the outer part of the beam is transformed into a ring-shaped pattern using the effect of an axicon lens(*4). The central part of the beam is phase-modulated to expand through the effect of a concave lens. As the beam propagates, the ring-shaped beam and the expanded central beam gradually overlap, resulting in a uniform intensity distribution at the target location, as shown in Figure 5.For the experiment, we optimized the beam design to achieve the desired intensity profile at a distance of 1 kilometer. The beam shaping was implemented using a diffractive optical element, which improved the uniformity of the beam intensity at the target position located 1 kilometer away.Figure 5 Image of beam shaping 2. Output current leveling technologyAs the laser beam propagates through the atmosphere, it is affected by atmospheric turbulence, which disturbs the intensity distribution. Although the flat-beam shaping technique described above can uniform the intensity distribution, strong turbulence can still cause the formation of high-intensity spots, as shown in Figure 6.To address this issue, we placed a beam homogenizer in front of the light-receiving panel. The homogenizer diffuses high-intensity spots so that the beam is uniformly irradiated onto the panel. In addition, leveling circuits were connected to each photoelectric conversion element on the receiving panel. These circuits help suppress fluctuations in output current caused by atmospheric turbulence and contribute to stabilizing the overall power output.These two technologies make it possible to achieve beam uniformity in kilometer-order transmission, which was difficult with conventional beam shaping methods, and to stabilize output in outdoor environments. As a result, stable power supply to remote locations such as isolated islands and disaster-affected areas is expected to become feasible.Figure 6 Image of beam pattern after atmospheric propagation and diffusion effect by homogenizerRole of each companyNTT: Design and implementation of transmission optics such as beam shaping techniques MHI: Design and implementation of photodetector optics such as photodetector panels, homogenizers, and leveling circuitsFuture developmentsThis technology enables the efficient and stable transmission of energy over long distances even under atmospheric turbulence. In this experiment, silicon was used as the photovoltaic conversion element. However, by employing photovoltaic devices specifically designed to match the wavelength of the laser light, even higher power transfer efficiency can be expected. In addition, the use of laser light sources with higher output power would make it possible to supply larger amounts of electricity.As a result, flexible and rapid power delivery can be achieved in remote areas such as disaster-stricken regions and remote islands, where the installation of power cables has traditionally been difficult. Beyond terrestrial applications, a wide range of new use cases can also be envisioned based on this technology (Figure 7). Notably, the high directivity and low divergence of laser beams allow for the design of compact and lightweight receiving devices. This is a major advantage for mobile platforms that face strict limitations in weight and payload capacity.For example, by combining this technology with beam steering techniques, it becomes possible to deliver power wirelessly to drones in flight. This avoids operational constraints such as landing for battery replacement or the use of tethered power supply cables, enabling long-duration and long-distance continuous operation. Such capabilities can enhance disaster-area monitoring as well as wide-area communication relay in mountainous or maritime regions, applications that were previously difficult to realize.In addition, potential applications in space are anticipated, including power delivery to mobile platforms such as HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station)(Note5), which falls within the scope of NTT's space brand, NTT C89(*6). Looking further ahead, the technology could be applied to power space data centers and lunar rovers, as well as to space solar power systems in which electricity is transmitted from geostationary satellites to the ground via laser. These applications represent areas with strong potential for market expansion.Through the collaboration between NTT and MHI, we have realized the world's most efficient laser wireless power transfer technology under conditions strongly affected by atmospheric fluctuations. This achievement represents a significant step toward building an innovative technological foundation that can meet a wide range of societal needs, from disaster response to space development.Figure 7 Use case of the technology (*1) Efficiency:The ratio of the electrical power extracted by the receiving panel to the optical power emitted by the laser.(*2) Photoelectric conversion element:A semiconductor device that converts light into electricity.

TOKYO, September 17, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) is pleased to announce that Anglo American Sur S.A. (“AAS”), in which MC holds a 20.4% stake, has entered into a definitive agreement with Codelco to implement a joint mine plan for their adjacent copper operations in Chile: Los Bronces and Andina. This agreement builds on the memorandum of understanding announced in February 2025.Los Bronces and Andina have been trusted neighbors for decades. The implementation of a joint mine plan marks an important milestone that will further strengthen this partnership. This transaction is expected to generate a potential pre-tax value uplift of at least US$5 billion (100% basis), driven by the efficient development of the Los Bronces-Andina mining district and the optimization of existing processing capacity with minimal incremental capital investment. The joint mine plan is set to begin in 2030 and is projected to yield an additional 120,000 tonnes of copper production per year over a 21-year period (MC’s equity share: 12,000 tonnes of copper per year).A new operating company, jointly owned and controlled by AAS and Codelco, will be established to coordinate the execution of the joint plan. Copper production and the resulting economic benefits will be shared equally between AAS and Codelco.As part of its corporate strategy, MC aims to expand its equity-based resource production and strengthen its competitive edge through its value-creation framework: Enhance, Reshape, and Create. This project serves as a key example of “Reshaping” existing operations through strategic new partnerships. Copper is projected to experience sustained long-term demand growth. At the same time, challenges such as declining ore grades are making new mine development increasingly complex, raising concerns about future supply stability.

TOKYO, September 8, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that etalanetug (development code: E2814), an investigational anti-MTBR (microtubule binding region) tau antibody, was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fast Track designation is an FDA program that is intended to facilitate and expedite development of new drugs to address unmet medical need in the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and provide opportunities for frequent interactions with the FDA.AD is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by formation of protein deposits known as plaques made of amyloid-beta aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles made of tau protein in the brains of people living with AD. The data show that amyloid-beta protofibrils and tau tangles play roles in the neurodegeneration process.1,2,3Etalanetug is an anti-tau antibody that targets specific tau species containing MTBR, tau seeds that spread tau pathology to different brain regions. Etalanetug was discovered as part of the research collaboration between Eisai and University College London. In the Phase I/II clinical trial (Study 103, NCT04971733) targeting patients with Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Disease (DIAD), target engagement with MTBR-tau species in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with etalanetug was confirmed. Additionally, there was a reduction in CSF MTBR-tau243, a biomarker reflecting brain tau pathophysiology, as well as a trend towards suppression or decrease in tau PET signal. These results suggest that etalanetug inhibited tau propagation and suppressed the accumulation of tau aggregates in brains of people living with DIAD.Currently, etalanetug is being evaluated with a standard of care treatment, an anti-amyloid β protofibril antibody, lecanemab in two clinical trials: the Tau NexGen Phase II/III clinical trial (NCT05269394) for DIAD, led by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and a Phase II clinical trial (Study 202, NCT06602258) targeting sporadic early AD.Following the development of treatments targeting amyloid beta, if treatments targeting tau become available, it is expected that this will be a further major breakthrough in the treatment of AD.Eisai positions neurology as one of its key therapeutic areas, and it will continue to create innovation in the development of novel medicines based on cutting-edge neurology research as it seeks to contribute further to improving the benefits of affected individuals and their families in diseases with high unmet needs, such as dementia including AD. Media Inquiries:Eisai Co., Ltd.Public Relations DepartmentTEL: +81 (0)3-3817-5120Eisai Inc.

The Fast Track designation is available not only when treatments do not exist, but also for drugs that demonstrate a potential advantage over existing treatments. Once a drug has granted Fast Track designation, the FDA will increase the frequency of meetings to discuss development, and if supported by clinical data at the time of New Drug Application submission, the drug may also be eligible for Priority Review and Accelerated Approval.Biomarkers related to AD tau pathologyAs fluid biomarkers related to AD tau pathology, tau containing the residue 243 (MTBR-tau243) and tau phosphorylated at the residue 217 (p-tau217) in CSF have been reported.4 In addition, positron emission tomography (tau PET), which specifically detects tau aggregates, is used as an imaging biomarker. These biomarkers are included in the Revised criteria for diagnosis and staging of AD published by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) in June 2024.5References1.

TOKYO, Japan, September 16, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Honda R&D Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has developed a new “chemical sorting” technology, which sorts and extracts reusable plastics from waste plastic parts that contain solid contaminants unique to automotive waste. Honda will build a pilot facility with a maximum processing capacity of 350 tons per year and verify the technology by the end of 2026, striving to put it into practical use by around 2029.The solid contaminant separation technology newly developed by Honda uses chemical sorting, that dissolves the resin in a solvent to remove solid contaminants and extract high-purity resin. Waste automotive plastic parts generally contain non-plastic solid contaminants such as metal inserts*1, pieces of rubber hoses and gaskets, and reinforcing materials such as glass fiber contained in the resin. To date, recycling of waste plastic parts containing solid contaminants has been done mostly through “physical sorting” processes which sort contaminants manually or by machine. However, recycling via physical sorting has various challenges, including an increase in cost associated with the sorting process.The use of the newly-developed chemical sorting technology enabled Honda to improve the solid contaminant separation rate to more than 99%, which previously has not exceeded the range of approximately 80%, resulting in the extraction of high-purity plastics. After undergoing mechanical and chemical recycling processes, reusable plastics extracted through the chemical sorting technology with a purity of more than 99%, will be reused as automotive materials, enabling closed-loop recycling.Issues with conventional recycling of waste plastic parts- Limitations due to the size of contaminants Conventional separation method requires the optimization of specifications of filters and sorting process for the size of each target contaminant. Waste plastic parts contain solid contaminants of various sizes. Since the sizes of contaminants are unpredictable, the filter mesh has to be set very fine, which often causes clogging and halts processing.- Limitations due to the complexity of materialsPlastics used in automotive parts consist of multiple resins, additives, fillers, and attached components, making it difficult to efficiently separate them through the conventional method. - Difficulty in scaling upWhen fine-mesh filters are used to sort out most contaminants, the filters need to be replaced every few hours due to clogging. Therefore, while recycling is feasible at the research level, it has been technically challenging to establish a continuous process capable of stably processing large volumes of waste materials.- Lack of industrywide collaborationFor practical recycling, an industrywide initiative is indispensable; however, sufficient collaborative frameworks have yet to be established.What Honda achieved with the new technology By using coarse-mesh filters that are less prone to clogging to sort out millimeter-sized coarse contaminants, and using centrifuges to physically separate micrometer-sized*2 fine contaminants, the new chemical sorting technology developed by Honda eliminates the need to adjust the specifications of removal filters depending on the size of each contaminant, enabling the thorough removal of contaminants of all sizes. It also minimizes the need for maintenance and filter replacement, enabling the establishment of a continuous process capable of stable operation on an industrial scale.With these features of its new technology, Honda became capable of removing contaminants of various sizes in the recycling of ELV-derived waste plastics, which expands the range of recyclable parts. This enables Honda to achieve both economic feasibility and scalability, and realize practical application of its new technology. Moreover, based on the expertise and technological foundation Honda has amassed through its long history of developing resource recovery technologies, the recent progress in collaboration with external partners has supported the development of this new technology.Benefits of the solid contaminant separation technology developed by HondaReduction of capital investment through the reduction of steps in the sorting process.Reduction of process cost through the shortening of the process.Improvement of recycling yield*3 (through the reduction of the amount of resin removed along with contaminants being removed in each sorting step).Efficient recovery of high-quality plastics that will comply with quality standards required for the recycling processes that follow, by preventing metal and rubber contamination.Suppression of plastic degradation by dissolving resin at temperatures lower than the resin’s degradation point.Ability to discharge recycled resin in a solid state, which enables the recovery of resin in pellet*4 form.Reduction of COâ‚‚ emissions, as the technology enables the recycling of reinforced fiber plastics that were previously incinerated.Resource circulation has been one of the key focus areas for Honda to further advance its mobility products and services, and this newly-developed technology is expected to be applicable also to other materials, including engineering plastics. Honda will continue its recycling-related research and take on the challenge to develop its products with 100% use of sustainable materials.  *1 Components made from metals that are pre-embedded into molded components such as plastic and rubber products.*2 1 micrometer=0.001 millimeter.*3 The ratio of a good product obtained to the amount of raw material input. In this context, it refers to the amount of resin successfully recovered divided by the amount of waste material fed into the process.*4 Raw material used for plastic molding, typically in small granules of about 3–5 millimeters in size.  Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
