  • TANAKA to Provide Medals for the Tokyo Marathon 2026 That Represent All the Participants in the Event with Woven Lines

    TOKYO, Feb 24, 2026 – (JCN Newswire) – TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) will provide and donate gold, silver, and bronze medals to the top three men and women finishers of the marathon and wheelchair marathon events at the Tokyo Marathon 2026. The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is organized by the Tokyo Marathon Foundation and will be held on March 1, 2026.

    Design Representing All the Participants in the Event with Woven Lines

    The medals were designed based on the concept of the Tokyo Marathon: The Day We Unite. On the front of the medal, the logo type is placed horizontally above the event logo pattern, which represents “runners, supporters, and cheerers,” to express the image of the Tokyo Marathon, which is held based on the involvement of many people, including runners, as well as volunteer staff and cheerers.

    On the back of the medal, the name of the event, Tokyo Marathon 2026, is written in Braille, and the words “FINISHER” and the event date are engraved, along with TANAKA’s logo. The medal’s ribbon design continues the 2016 design and is based on the event logo, which resembles a tapestry of lines woven together to represent all the runners, volunteers, and spectators.

    Sustainability Initiatives

    The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is advancing sustainability initiatives centered on “waste reduction,” “environmental conservation,” and “DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion).” In support of this initiative, the medal ribbons are made using recycled polyester. In addition, for the gold medals, the gold plating solution used is from TANAKA’s “RE Series” regenerated precious metals made using only 100% recycled materials. Through these initiatives, TANAKA is helping to make the event more sustainable.

    About the Tokyo Marathon 2026

    The Tokyo Marathon 2026 is the 19th edition of one of the largest public participation marathons in Japan. As it will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2027, the event has evolved further to help all the participants play active roles so that the metropolis of Tokyo unite as one, based on three pillars: “The safest and most secure race in the world,” “The most exciting race in the world,” and “The warmest and most friendly race in the world.” This year, the event has adopted “Run. Tokyo. Own.” as the keyword to express how, on the grand stage of Tokyo, each runner lives their own run and their own story—and how countless individuals coming together create “one Tokyo” for that day and that moment alone.

    TANAKA has produced the winner and finisher medals for every Tokyo Marathon since the first held in 2007, with this year marking the 19th year. The Tokyo Marathon joined the World Marathon Majors (currently the Abbott World Marathon Majors) in 2013, attracting global attention as one of the world’s seven premier marathons. Other than the Tokyo Marathon, TANAKA has also produced medals for the winners of the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, supported the promotion of para sports as an official partner of the Japanese Para Sports Association (JPSA), and produced and sold official commemorative medals for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. As part of its contribution to the realization of an inclusive society and the creation of a healthier society, TANAKA will continue to support the promotion of sports going forward.

  • GA-ASI Announces YFQ-42A Dark Merlin

    Uncrewed Fighter Jet Takes Inspiration From Nimble Predator

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is giving its U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft a new name: YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.

    Dark merlins, deadly falcons known for their black feathers and devouring of other falcons as prey, often collaborate in groups for maximum effect against their targets. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes the merlin as a “small, fierce falcon that uses surprise attacks” to bring down its prey in flight. The dark merlin is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, often migrating into southern California, where bird spotters routinely report seeing them near the YFQ-42A’s manufacturing home in San Diego.

    The 1962 book “Profiles of the Future” imagined global technological marvels yet to change the world, offering that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” It’s no coincidence that the Dark Merlin name also reflects the wizardry of Merlin from Arthurian legend, paying homage to the somewhat supernatural new era of semi-autonomous air combat.

    “Dark merlins are hunting machines, built for speed and aerodynamics,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “They harass other falcons for fun, and they eat what they kill. The name sums up our new uncrewed fighter perfectly.”

    The U.S. Air Force official prefix “Y” denotes that the initial few aircraft are early, production-representative test models, while “F” denotes fighter and “Q” denotes uncrewed aircraft. When aircraft enter production, they drop the “Y” – for example, the YF-16 became the F-16 with the nickname “Fighting Falcon” – and GA-ASI expects its new CCA to become the FQ-42A with the nickname “Dark Merlin.”

    The Dark Merlin has been stacking up milestones and achievements since GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. In August 2025, YFQ-42A delivered the U.S. Air Force its first successful CCA flight and followed that this month with the service’s first CCA flight using mission autonomy software. Between those milestones, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple Dark Merlins, conducting push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings and other accomplishments as the test program continues.

    YFQ-42A Dark Merlin is a purpose-built CCA platform developed as part of GA-ASI’s ongoing investment in next-generation autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft’s modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems. GA-ASI’s autonomy architecture, demonstrated through multiple live flight tests, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.

    GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development. The company’s XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, offers a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.

  • GA-ASI and USAF Demonstrate Manned-Unmanned Teaming With F-22 and MQ-20 In Joint Autonomy Exercise

    In collaboration with the U.S. Air Force, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) conducted its latest demonstration performing an autonomous mission out of Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California using its MQ-20 Avenger® unmanned jet and an F-22 Raptor equipped with the latest government reference autonomy software. The test, which showcased Manned-Unmanned Teaming between the F-22 and MQ-20, leveraged autonomy and the tactical data link to enable coordination between the platforms.

    The mission included a live engagement between the MQ-20 and the F-22 as the command aircraft flown by an onboard human pilot, highlighting the ability to receive and execute teaming commands.

    “We appreciate the flawless execution of this mission using the government’s advanced autonomous systems,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “This demo featured the integration of mission elements and the ability of autonomy to utilize onboard sensors to make independent decisions and execute commands from the F-22.”

    The demonstration showcased Manned-Unmanned Teaming and rapid software integration between the MQ-20 and the F-22, and a tactical data link used for communication and coordination between military platforms. The MQ-20 successfully exchanged messages with the F-22, and the F-22 was able to send autonomy commands to the MQ-20 via the Autonodyne Bashi Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), directing the MQ-20 to execute tactical maneuvers and adjust waypoints, and perform Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and airborne threat engagement tasks.

    This demonstration highlighted the potential of CCAs to act as force multipliers for manned platforms, enabling collaboration between autonomous systems and human pilots. GA-ASI’s MQ-20 Avenger unmanned jet has served as a surrogate CCA for more than five years, both before and since the arrival of GA-ASI’s purpose-built XQ-67A and YFQ-42A aircraft.

  • GA-ASI Develops Long-Range Weapons Capabilities for MQ-9B

    Industry Leading UAS Expands Mission Roles To Include Naval Strike

    General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is developing the addition of long-range standoff weapons to its top-of-the-line MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian®.

    Demand continues from naval and air warfighters for platforms that can hold targets at risk from great ranges, especially over the expanses of air and water in the Western Pacific. That’s why GA-ASI engineers have begun the work of adapting MQ-9B’s payload, stability, range and other features to accommodate the new generation of extended-range precision weapons.

    “MQ-9B continues to impress in the field and we keep adding to our global customer list,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We want to continue to build value in the aircraft by expanding into more missions. MQ-9B features extraordinary payload capacity, so it only makes sense to add to our mission sets with the ability to carry long-range weapons.”

    So far, GA-ASI has performed all the performance analytics and is confident in MQ-9B’s ability to carry long-range weapons over long distances, while providing a measure of persistence and endurance. Company engineers and others continue to refine the technical aspects of this integration and potential concepts of operation, eyeing weapons such as the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile andLong-Range Anti-Ship Missile, as well as the Kongsberg/Raytheon Joint Strike Missile.

    GA-ASI plans to fly at least one of these new weapons as early as 2026.

    Hypothetically, a mission profile might look like this: MQ-9Bs could launch from a number of friendly bases in the Western or Southern Pacific, fly to a hold point and loiter there outside a hostile power’s weapons engagement zone. If the order came to release the weapons, the aircraft could launch them in coordination with other U.S. or allied operations.

    In addition to the SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian models, MQ-9B also includes the Protector RG Mk1 that is currently being delivered to the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force (RAF). GA-ASI also has MQ-9B procurement contracts with Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, Taiwan and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also been featured in various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.

  • Bioxytran Initiates Research Collaboration with University of Georgia to Evaluate Drug Candidate’s Ability to Block H5N1 Bird Flu Virus

    Bioxytran Initiates Research Collaboration with University of Georgia to Evaluate Drug Candidate’s Ability to Block H5N1 Bird Flu Virus

    Bioxytran, Inc. (OTCQB: BIXT), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing breakthrough antiviral treatments, today announced it has initiated a research collaboration with the University of Georgia (UGA) as part of a $100M grant to explore the efficacy of its lead drug candidate in blocking the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu.

    The collaboration follows a previously announced Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed in March 2025 and formalizes the framework for evaluating Bioxytran’s novel galectin antagonist as a potential therapeutic for infected poultry . The research is being led by Dr. Daniela Rajao DVM, MS, PhD, a renowned expert in virology and poultry medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Population Health at UGA .

    Bioxytran’s drug candidate, PHM23, utilizes a novel mechanism of action that targets galectin proteins critical to viral replication. By blocking viral spike proteins from attaching to host cells, the therapy aims to neutralize the virus and halt its spread . In vitro studies have already demonstrated the molecule’s effectiveness against viruses similar to H5N1, providing a strong foundation for this new research .

    “The initiation of this research with the University of Georgia, a world leader in poultry health, marks a significant milestone for Bioxytran,” said David Platt, CEO of Bioxytran, Inc. “The ongoing H5N1 outbreaks present a urgent threat to the global food supply and economy, requiring immediate mass culling that results in billions of dollars in losses. We believe our galectin antagonist technology offers a promising path forward—not just for containment, but for a humane and sustainable solution to protect animal health.”

    The potential of this research has already garnered significant academic recognition. Following the establishment of the collaboration, UGA selected PHM23 as one of a handful of molecules to be featured in its grant submission to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) prestigious $100 million HPAI Poultry Innovation Grand Challenge . This inclusion underscores the scientific promise of Bioxytran’s platform in addressing one of agriculture’s most pressing challenges.

    Current protocols for managing bird flu outbreaks often necessitate the culling of entire flocks to prevent the virus’s spread. Bioxytran’s approach could offer a more effective alternative, enable rapid containment of the virus and mitigate the devastating economic impact on farmers and consumers .

    Bioxytran is actively seeking further partnerships with academic, industry, and government stakeholders to accelerate the development and deployment of PHM23 in response to this urgent global need .

  • Shoucheng Expands Robotics Retail Footprint Ahead of Lunar New Year, Opens Three Beijing Stores

    Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (HKG: 0697) accelerated its consumer robotics strategy ahead of the Lunar New Year, opening three Taozhu New Creation Hub stores in Beijing as it scales its offline commercialization network.

    The new locations — at Rongshi Plaza Phase II, Shougang Park, Beijing APM in Wangfujing, and Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 2 (T2) — establish coverage across three high-traffic scenarios: cultural landmark redevelopment, core commercial district and major transportation hub.

    Management positions the rollout as a transition from pilot-stage deployment to scaled consumer penetration, structured around a closed-loop model integrating experience, sales, service and industrial empowerment.

    Flagship Upgrade at Shougang Park
    The Phase II exhibition hall at Rongshi Plaza serves as the upgraded flagship location.

    Situated near Jin’anqiao Station (Beijing Subway Line 6) and Beixin’an Station (Line 11), the store spans more than 400 square meters. It adopts a “front store, back workshop” format, adding a robotics maintenance facility co-developed with Accelerated Evolution.

    The front-of-house focuses on immersive product experience and high-end sales. The back-end workshop provides standardized maintenance services, addressing a gap in China’s offline robotics service infrastructure.

    During its National Day launch window, the store recorded average daily foot traffic exceeding 12,000 visitors in the first eight days. First-month cumulative traffic surpassed 900,000 visitors. The site also captured spillover demand from the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), lifting overall traffic at Rongshi Plaza.

    Wangfujing: Targeting the 18–35 Urban Demographic
    The Beijing APM store is located in Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, one of Beijing’s highest-traffic retail corridors. The mall is operated by Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd.

    The store targets consumers aged 18–35, emphasizing “trendy technology” and first-release products. The product mix focuses on lightweight, design-forward smart devices, including transformable robots, smart earphones and portable speakers.

    Opening-day traffic exceeded 11,000 visitors. Cumulative traffic has surpassed 60,000, with daily averages above 8,000 visitors. More than 70% of visitors fall within the younger demographic bracket.

    Airport T2: Travel Retail Positioning
    The Terminal 2 store at Beijing Capital International Airport spans approximately 100 square meters and is located near duty-free retail clusters.

    Terminal 2 handles about 35 million passengers annually. The product assortment is structured around short airport decision cycles — described as a 40-minute pre-boarding window.

    Featured products include compact companion robots, translation devices from iFLYTEK Co., Ltd., and portable smart charging products.

    Average daily traffic exceeds 2,200 visitors, with international travelers accounting for roughly 18% of footfall. Interactive robot displays have driven organic social-media exposure and expanded brand visibility beyond Beijing.

    Spring Festival Gala Exposure Converts to Store Traffic
    At the 2026 China Media Group (CMG) Spring Festival Gala, humanoid robot performances became one of the event’s most discussed technology segments.

    Three robotics companies invested in by Shoucheng — Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, and Galbot (Beijing Galbot Co., Ltd.) — appeared in featured programs.

  • Full Convertible Bond Conversion Removes Overhang and Signals Valuation Reassessment for Shoucheng Holdings

    Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (HKG: 0697) said all outstanding convertible bonds have been fully converted into shares, marking the completion of a capital event affecting both shareholder structure and market liquidity.

    The conversion optimizes the company’s capital structure and releases trading liquidity. Early participants in the bonds have largely taken profits, removing a technical constraint on the company’s equity and prompting investors to reassess valuation as the firm advances its robotics-focused strategy.

    Convertible bonds, which combine debt and equity characteristics, were originally issued to raise long-term funding for the company’s robotics ecosystem while offering flexible exit options for investors. The conversion period coincided with a concentrated results phase for the portfolio: three invested companies — Unitree Robotics, Galbot and Songyan Dynamics — gained national attention during China’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala, providing visible validation of investment value.

    During the “Wu BOT” performance, Unitree Robotics’ humanoid robot formation executed complex movements including backflips and martial-arts stances, demonstrating advanced dynamic control capabilities. With 0.001-second servo response and millisecond-level synchronization, the robots completed continuous table-jump parkour and aerial flips. A proprietary dexterous hand enabled rapid prop switching. As a third-time participant in the broadcast, the company’s progress reflects Shoucheng’s early positioning in robot manufacturing.

    Songyan Dynamics made its first appearance, presenting consumer-oriented humanoid robots capable of lifelike eye movement, facial expression and breathing-like body motion. Positioned in the consumer segment, the company’s pricing strategy targets broader adoption, and the nationwide exposure is expected to accelerate retail demand.

    Galbot demonstrated embodied intelligence through real-time autonomous manipulation tasks including cracking walnuts, picking up glass fragments and folding clothes. Actions were driven by its AstraBrain model rather than pre-programmed sequences, illustrating practical deployment of embodied AI and highlighting Shoucheng’s positioning in core decision-making technology.

    Together, the three companies covered motion, interaction and intelligence capabilities, presenting a complete robotics ecosystem and reinforcing the company’s “capital + scenarios + industrial chain” investment model. The timing of the conversion alongside the technology showcase provided gains for bondholders and clarified the pathway for value realization.

    Liquidity Release and Shareholder Structure Adjustment
    Market performance suggests the conversion was driven by accumulated gains. Since issuance, the company’s share price rose alongside progress in hard-technology investments, particularly in 2025 as robotics commercialization accelerated. Bondholders realized profits through share conversion and subsequent selling, while some long-term institutional investors retained shares, forming a structure combining short-term exits and long-term holdings.

    Completion of the conversion removes potential selling pressure linked to convertible bond redemption. Newly issued shares have been largely absorbed, improving the shareholder base and trading flexibility. Capital raised through the conversion strengthens the balance sheet, supporting expansion of the Taozhu retail network, robotics investment and secondary development services.

    Shift Toward Fundamentals-Driven Valuation
    The conversion occurs at a key development stage. Shoucheng has built a full-chain robotics investment matrix covering upstream materials, manufacturing and downstream application scenarios. The Taozhu network plans more than 20 locations nationwide by mid-2026, while secondary development and materials businesses expand simultaneously.

    With technical trading factors removed, investor focus is expected to return to fundamentals. Commercialization progress and earnings realization will become primary drivers of valuation.

    Analysts say completion of the conversion reflects coordination between capital operations and business development. Long-term funding supports participation in the robotics commercialization cycle, while liquidity release shifts valuation from a capital-structure-constrained model toward fundamentals-based pricing reflecting ecosystem growth potential.

    Industry Context
    Embodied intelligence has been incorporated into national industrial planning, and 2026 is widely regarded as the first year of large-scale scenario deployment. Shoucheng’s model combining capital, deployment scenarios and supply-chain positioning provides differentiated exposure to the sector’s growth.

    Market participants expect volatility to stabilize after technical pressure clears. Over the longer term, commercialization of portfolio companies, expansion of retail channels and scaling of secondary development services may support both earnings and valuation growth.

    Company representatives said completion of the conversion reflects market confidence and will allow continued investment in distribution channels, development services and materials. The company aims to strengthen its role as an integrated robotics ecosystem service provider and deliver long-term shareholder value.
