Kirei Launches Lit Acoustic Lighting Collection

Kirei’s Lit Collection is a family of integrated acoustic lighting that combines sound absorption and illumination within a single ceiling solution. Developed in partnership with Seattle-based RESOLUTE Lighting, the Lit Collection integrates lighting directly into acoustic elements to reduce the need for additional ceiling fixtures and streamline specification and installation. Users can specify lit and unlit elements within a single acoustic system to maintain a cohesive visual language across the space. The acoustic products are made from recycled PET and support material selection through published Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs); they also contribute to LEED and WELL building standards.

LiteTrace Introduces Bluetooth Wall Switch with Integrated Occupancy Sensor and Dimming

The Keilton+autani IWS102/DWS102 by LiteTrace Brands transforms standard wall switches into intelligent control hubs that manage both hardwired lighting and networked devices based on occupancy, without requiring ceiling-mounted sensors or fixture modifications. Unlike typical occupancy sensors that only control their hardwired load, the IWS102/DWS102 offers dual control architecture: hardwired occupancy-based switching for connected lighting plus wireless Bluetooth control of additional networked loads. The integrated 4-button interface provides manual dimming and On/Off control while occupancy functions operate independently. A single wall-mounted sensor orchestrates lighting and equipment control across an entire room through the Keilton+autani Bluetooth network, including plug load controllers (WF20R) for appliances and equipment. Ideal for conference rooms, private offices, lunch rooms, storage areas, copy rooms, and restrooms where coordinated lighting and equipment control maximizes energy savings.

Beyond Sound: How Semiconductor Innovation Is Transforming Audio Experiences

Audio is enriching lives, making listening experiences more immersive. Semiconductors are making premium recording equipment and high-quality entertainment production accessible to more people. But it’s also quietly improving your life, enabling more affordable and higher-performing electronics. Audio appeals to our emotions by immersing us in sound, but it also keeps the things we’re emotional about safe. For example, audio technology is an important aspect of maintaining the safe operation of humanoid robots. If a smoke alarm goes off while a robot is monitoring its environment, a semiconductor with a neural network-based algorithm can hear the smoke alarm and enable the humanoid to take appropriate action, such as alerting emergency services, protecting items with sentimental or monetary value or preventing incidents with pets.

How Simulations and Digital Twins Are Advancing Robotics

Agentic AI showed us the capabilities of autonomous AI systems in workflows. Now, physical AI is poised to show us the capabilities of autonomous systems in the physical world, but not without help, as noted in various sessions at Nvidia GTC 2026. Physical AIis an embodied system that uses sensors to process and understand its surroundings. Consider tools like autonomous vehicles that use sensors to process a host of environmental data to ensure safe transportation. Or medical robotics, which provides healthcare workers with a degree of precision they never had before. Physical AI and robotics stand to revolutionize and automate entire industries, but as emerging technologies, they’re still in their infancy. These tools still need to learn to navigate the world around them without risking harm to humans or organizational failure. Simulations and digital twins could provide an environment to test and refine robots before implementation.

Sollum Technologies Launches SF-INFINITE the Most Advanced Dynamic LED Fixture for Commercial Greenhouses

Sollum Technologies announced the launch of the SF-INFINITE™️ fixture, strengthening its leadership in lighting technology for commercial greenhouses. The SF-INFINITE is the most advanced dynamic LED lighting fixture. It consolidates Sollum’s roadmap in Greenhouse lighting represents one of the most capital-intensive infrastructure decisions that growers must make. Traditional systems often restrict operations into fixed capabilities for years after installation. This forces producers to anticipate future crop strategies, energy constraints, and market demands well in advance —often as they have yet to emerge. The SF-INFINITE was designed to eliminate that risk.to a single, future-ready solution designed to support the evolving needs of greenhouse operators. EN + FR 2026 SF-INFINITE SPEC SHEET MARKETING

That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind – The last time human beings headed moonward was on the Apollo 17 flight that launched Dec. 7, 1972—before any of the Artemis II crew members were born. Today’s crew will not land on the moon—they won’t even orbit the moon. But they will whip around the lunar far side, on a shakedown mission test-flying the Orion spacecraft. This is essential preparatory work for achieving NASA’s bigger lunar goals. Next year there will be another test flight in low Earth orbit during the flight of Artemis III, followed by up to two moon landings by Artemis IV and V in 2028, and annual landings thereafter. Unlike the Apollo program, Artemis aims not just for the so-called flags-and-footprints model of short, one- to three-day stays on the moon, but for a long-term presence at a long-term moon base in the south lunar pole, where deposits of ice can provide drinkable water, breathable oxygen, and oxygen-hydrogen rocket fuel. Very much like the Apollo program, Artemis finds itself in a closely watched moon race, not with the old Soviet Union this time, but with China, which has announced its intention to have astronauts on the moon by 2030. The U.S. is not going it alone this time, however. While Apollo was an entirely American enterprise, Artemis flies under the flag of 60 countries, signatories to the Artemis Accords, an international pact whose members vow to support the peaceful exploration of space and contribute money, modules, and astronauts to the Artemis cause.
