Hylenr Technologies Finds Rare-Earth Signatures, Opens New Technology Pathway Through Nuclear Fusion

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Indian deep-tech company Hylenr Technologies has reported evidence of elemental formation, including rare-earth species, inside engineered Lattice structure systems — opening a radically different pathway toward nucleosynthesis and strategic-material production.

Elemental Transmutation

The findings are part of Hylenr Technologies’ work during the last 10-plus years on Nuclear Fusion technology based on Lattice confinement fusion and have also collaborated and validated with leading international research institutions.

A part of this work, titled ‘Nuclear Signatures in a Hydrogen-Loaded Ni–Pd Lattice Confinement System,’ was presented earlier this month at the 27th International Conference on Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (ICCF-27) at Niagara Falls, Canada.

From Nuclear Energy to Nucleosynthesis

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which atomic nuclei are transformed to create different elements.

In nature, this occurs inside stars, supernovae and other extreme astrophysical environments, where enormous temperatures, pressures and energy densities drive nuclear reactions.

On Earth, producing or transforming elements through nuclear processes typically requires large-scale nuclear reactors, particle accelerators or high-energy experimental infrastructure.

Hylenr Technologies’ results demonstrate a fundamentally different pathway for nuclear processes and nucleosynthesis within engineered solid materials. In hydrogen-loaded metal lattices, interactions between hydrogen, lattice defects, vacancies and the local electronic environment create highly confined conditions capable of enabling nuclear processes within the material itself.

This shifts the idea of element formation from enormous high-energy systems toward compact, engineered Nuclear energy.

Signatures of 32 Elements Detected

Across approximately two years of material-analysis work, Hylenr Technologies has detected signatures corresponding to 32 elements in post-operation samples, spanning light elements, heavy elements, noble gases Like Helium Neon and Argon. Furthermore, strategically important rare-earth species including Yttrium, and actinides including Uranium. Signatures are reported against pre-operation baseline characterisation of the same Catalyst material sample acting as control, and each is corroborated by more than one of the independent techniques below.

The observations have been studied using multiple independent analytical techniques, including:

  • Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)
  • X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES)
  • Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (WDX)
  • Residual Gas Analysis (RGA)

Made, Not Mined

Rare-earth elements sit at the centre of many of the world’s most strategically important technologies.

They are critical to permanent magnets, electric vehicles, robotics, wind turbines, electronics, aerospace systems, defence platforms and advanced manufacturing.

“Yet their global supply chain remains highly concentrated, creating strategic dependence for countries seeking to scale clean energy, defence manufacturing and next-generation electronics,” stated Ram Ramaseshan, Co-founder and Board Member, Hylenr Technologies.

Hylenr Technologies’ work points toward an entirely different model: produce selected elements through engineered nucleosynthesis rather than extract them exclusively from geological deposits.

For India, this could create a new technological pathway toward critical-material sovereignty across defence, electronics, electric mobility, renewable energy, space and advanced manufacturing.

For the world, it raises the possibility that future access to strategic elements may depend not only on where they occur naturally, but on our ability to engineer the nuclear environments within materials to create them.

“What makes this finding exciting is the possibility of bringing together Nuclear Fusion Energy and Rare Earth materials within one engineered nuclear platform,” said Siddhartha Durairajan, Co-founder and Board Member of Hylenr Technologies.

“For thousands of years, access to an element has been determined by whether nature concentrated it somewhere in the Earth’s crust. We are working toward a very different future — one in which we can engineer the material environment required to create selected elements.”

TAIPEI and NEW DELHI, India, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TUTK, a global cloud platform and connectivity service provider, today announced that security devices from its customers in India, powered by TUTK’s patented P2P connectivity and cloud technologies, have successfully passed cybersecurity assessments conducted by India’s Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate.

Secure P2P Connectivity, Cloud Governance, and Flexible Deployment Support Compliance and Market Expansion in India

As India strengthens cybersecurity, data governance, and supply-chain requirements for video surveillance products, STQC compliance has become increasingly important for vendors targeting government, public-sector, and smart-infrastructure projects. The successful assessments demonstrate how TUTK’s secure connectivity and cloud architecture can help security device manufacturers meet evolving cybersecurity requirements while accelerating market deployment.

Secure P2P Connectivity for Devices and Video

Remote video surveillance introduces potential security risks across device pairing, NAT traversal, session establishment, and video transmission. Addressing these risks requires multiple layers of protection, including secure device authentication, encrypted communications, session management, relay security, brute-force protection, and software supply-chain transparency.

TUTK’s patented P2P technology uses device authentication and certificate binding to reduce the risk of unauthorized device registration and connection hijacking. DTLS/SRTP-based encryption further protects connection establishment and live video transmission.

When NAT or firewall restrictions prevent direct P2P connections, TUTK Relay services maintain remote connectivity while keeping video and data encrypted in transit.

From SDK Security to Cloud Governance

TUTK provides documentation covering P2P SDK provenance, maintenance, and security controls, while supporting device manufacturers in implementing access control, connection logging, and device-level security policies. Together, these capabilities help address supply-chain transparency requirements and establish multilayer protection across devices, connectivity, software, and cloud services.

TUTK’s cloud architecture also supports access control, encrypted transmission, operational logging, and audit trails. Deployment models can be tailored to customer requirements for data residency, access management, and operational governance.

By integrating device connectivity and cloud management within a unified architecture, security vendors can simplify system integration, improve visibility into device and service operations, and build a scalable foundation for future device expansion.

Flexible Deployment for Compliance and Faster Time to Market

TUTK provides modular deployment options to address different security, operational, and compliance requirements:

  • Private Deployment: Deploy P2P infrastructure in the customer’s own data center or designated private cloud for greater control over data, systems, and operations.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS): Use TUTK’s managed cloud infrastructure to reduce deployment and maintenance complexity while scaling with device and connection volumes.

P2P connectivity, Relay services, and cloud management can be deployed independently or combined according to each customer’s requirements, helping vendors balance compliance, operational control, infrastructure investment, and time to market.

Supporting Security Vendors in India and Global Markets

As cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, secure device connectivity, encrypted transmission, software supply-chain transparency, and cloud governance are becoming essential for security manufacturers entering regulated markets.

TUTK will continue working with camera, NVR, and other security device manufacturers to integrate secure connectivity and cloud services, streamline validation and deployment, and support expansion in India and other global markets.

Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM Team Advance to Finals for 2026 ACM Gordon Bell Prize

Joint research team modeled a 12,635-atom protein, the largest-known to be simulated using quantum computers.

Breakthrough was achieved through quantum and classical methods working together, expanding quantum-centric supercomputing’s potential in life sciences research.

CLEVELAND and WAKO, Japan and YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A multidisciplinary team from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM (NYSE: IBM) has been named as a finalist for the 2026 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for simulating the largest biologically meaningful molecules ever modeled with quantum computers, reaching a scale of 12,635 atoms. To achieve these results, the team united the strengths of quantum and classical computing methods in a framework known as quantum-centric supercomputing.

The ACM Gordon Bell Prize recognizes outstanding achievement in high-performance computing and is one of the field’s most prestigious honors. The 2026 winner will be announced at the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC26), taking place Nov. 15–20, 2026 in Chicago.

The origins of the project are rooted in the team’s investigation into how computation in drug discovery can be improved. Doing so rests on two fundamental challenges: first, modeling the movement of atoms as biological processes unfold; and second, accurately computing their energies. Particularly the second challenge is well-suited for quantum computers, which operate by the laws of quantum mechanics.

In the work, initially published in May 2026, the team calculated the electronic structure of two large protein complexes using the IBM Quantum Heron processors running within the IBM quantum computers at Cleveland Clinic in the United States and RIKEN in Japan. The calculations were executed alongside two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, Fugaku at RIKEN and Miyabi-G, which is operated by the University of Tokyo and University of Tsukuba. The quantum computers used up to 94 qubits to run nearly 6,000 quantum operations within certain parts of the problem, which was essential to the computation’s accuracy and success. Fugaku and Miyabi-G were used to reassemble the results and allow the team to gain a complete representation of each molecule.

The results reflect the team’s innovative approach alongside the rapid maturation of quantum computing. Using the sample-based quantum diagonalization by IBM and RIKEN (featured on the cover of Science Advances) along with embedded wavefunction methods adapted by Cleveland Clinic to the question at hand, the team was able to report the first-known simulation of a 303-atom protein achieved with quantum computers. Less than a year later, the team first scaled their method roughly 40 times while also achieving 210 times improvement in accuracy. In updated results recently published in September, the team advanced the work even further. Most notably, they were able to further improve the accuracy of their computations of the binding energies of the molecular system, which reflect how tightly the molecules are bound together and can predict how they could interact with other systems.

In addition, the team validated the workflow on a third supercomputer, JHPC-quantum GPU supercomputer “ROQUO,” RIKEN’s newest system in a way that eliminated the need for complex manual operations and data transfers – pointing toward faster, more accessible research. By orchestrating CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs together, the team minimized the need for manual transfers and further reduced errors — an early demonstration of how classical and quantum computing can work in concert on complex scientific problems.

Taken together with the earlier results, these updates reflect continued progress on both the accuracy of computed binding energies and the time-to-solution enabled by the automated workflow.

The quantum-classical techniques developed by the team continues to reduce the computational overhead required to directly represent the chemistry of molecular systems with accuracy and is pushing the frontiers of what is possible with quantum-centric supercomputing in the field. The work has demonstrated a path to further increase the accuracy of how molecular system can be calculated and is a step towards helping researchers better predict how medicines may interact with protein targets.

The research team includes Kenneth Merz Jr, Akhil Shajan, Danil Kaliakin, Fangchun Liang of Cleveland Clinic, Yuichi Otsuka, Tomonori Shirakawa, Lukas Broers, Han Xu, Miwako Tsuji, Mitsuhisa Sato, Seiji Yunoki of RIKEN Center for Computational Science, and Ryo Wakizaka, Yukio Kawashima, Jun Doi, Hitomi Takahashi, Toshinari Itoko, Hiroshi Horii, Thaddeus Pellegrini, Javier Robledo Moreno, Kevin J. Sung, Ella Fejer, Robert Walkup, Seetharami Seelam, Mario Motta of IBM.

“Our partnership with Timeshifter will help Round the World customers arrive ready to enjoy each new destination by supporting better sleep and faster adjustment to new time zones,” said Roger Blackburn, vice president of Loyalty and Commercial for oneworld, in remarks from the stage at the oneworld Loyalty Summit in Dallas/Ft. Worth. “Jet lag has a significant impact on health and wellbeing. This new partnership provides oneworld an opportunity to do what we do best: deliver a premium, elevated experience at every opportunity along the journey.”

Timeshifter is based on the latest circadian science, and advice is personalised to each customer’s flight itinerary, typical sleep pattern, chronotype and personal preferences.

“Timeshifter is trusted by astronauts, Formula One teams and professional athletes, and we are excited to be working with oneworld to provide this same circadian science to oneworld’s customers, improving their health and enjoyment when they cross time zones,” said Mickey Beyer-Clausen, CEO of Timeshifter. “Air travel has optimised nearly every part of flying except for what crossing multiple time zones can do to the traveller – a gap our partnership with oneworld will help to close.” 

What is jet lag?

Jet lag is not a sleep problem but a temporary misalignment between a person’s internal circadian clock and local time at their destination. The circadian clock keeps sleep, alertness, digestion, immune function, and dozens of other systems, synchronized to a 24-hour day, and takes its cues from light and darkness.

When travellers cross several time zones, the light-dark cycle shifts by hours, while the circadian clock moves only about an hour a day on its own. The only way to adjust to new time zones quickly is by timing light exposure and light avoidance precisely. If the timing is wrong, it will make jet lag worse.

“This is just the latest example of the creative ways we are engaging with premium partners who bring true value and an elevated experience to oneworld customers,” said Ole Orvér, CEO of oneworld.

The collaboration brings together the expertise and leadership of PTDI, including Gita Amperiawan, President Director (CEO); Moh. Arif Faisal, Director of Commerce and Development; and Dena Hendriana, Director of Production, alongside Frost & Sullivan leaders Aroop Zutshi, Global Managing Partner & Executive Board Member, and Subhranshu Shekhar Das, Executive Board Member & MetaBrain Lead Architect.
