Deep Clean Meets Everyday Comfort

Significantly upgraded from its predecessor, the new LG robot vacuum raises the bar for home cleaning solutions with advanced features, functionality and the satisfaction of aesthetically blending into your home with its furniture-like looks. Its steam mopping capability effectively removes grease and liquid spills, while the freestanding, furniture-like docking station self-sterilizes the mop with hot water and steam, keeping it clean and odor-free after each use. With more than double the suction power of last year’s model, it delivers a deeper clean on both hard and carpeted floors.

Equipped with an on-device AI chip, the robot vacuum recognizes a range of environmental factors – from dirt and dust to furniture and other household objects – enabling more precise navigation and cleaning. Its AI carpet detection system automatically returns the vacuum to the docking station to detach the mop when carpeted areas are detected, helping prevent staining and improving cleaning efficiency. Stylish yet practical, the docking station blends seamlessly with any interior for a clean, modern look. Furthermore, the new robot vacuum incorporates the LG Shield security platform to keep customers’ data safe and secure.

Hidden Fit, Hands-free Experience

Developed with European homes in mind, LG’s built-in robot vacuum station is designed to fit neatly into unused space beneath the kitchen sink, enabling a tidy and space-efficient installation. An auto-opening door, nearly invisible when closed, allows the vacuum to enter and return without user intervention, helping maintain a minimalist kitchen aesthetic.

The built-in station features an air circulation system that dampens noise during automatic dust disposal, helping preserve a quieter indoor environment. It also offers a fully automated, hands-free experience with auto water supply and draining. In addition, a turbidity sensor monitors mop cleanliness in real time and automatically initiates washing when soiling is detected, ensuring thorough, efficient cleaning with less energy use.

Enduring Performance

Unlike conventional cordless vacuums that often lose suction due to clogging from pet hair and fine dust, LG’s new stick vacuum provides consistent, powerful performance. Its Micro Cyclone technology and new filter cleaning system delivers stable suction power every time.

Building on its predecessor’s allergy-aware design, the model includes an auto dust disposal system that minimizes exposure to dust particles when emptying the bin. Additionally, it includes a compact, free-standing storage and recharging station with a small footprint, allowing users to conveniently place it almost anywhere in their home.

Effortless Cleaning and Care

LG is also introducing its new wet-dry stick vacuum, a product that meets growing consumer demand throughout Europe for a lighter, more convenient cleaning solution. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, it helps reduce wrist strain and fatigue during cleaning. The AI Roller Control function further lessens the burden on users’ wrists and contributes to overall ease-of-operation, ensuring the vacuum moves smoothly when pushed and pulled across different surfaces.

Combining advanced capabilities of LG’s AI technology, the vacuum learns from users’ cleaning patterns to optimize efficiency. Its roller delivers powerful suction that lifts both liquid messes – such as sauces – and larger solid particles like cereal and pet food. Built-in LED lighting helps users spot debris in low-light conditions. For hygiene, the mop head undergoes hot water washing, steam sterilization and hot air drying – keeping the mop head fresh and the vacuum clean.

“LG’s new vacuums are designed for European homes and lifestyles, delivering reliable performance along with greater comfort, hygiene and peace of mind,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We are committed to introducing innovations that meet the diverse needs of our customers and create effortless ease and elegance in everyday life.”

LG’s latest vacuum lineup and other home appliance solutions will be on display at the company’s IFA 2025 exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) in Berlin, Germany, from September 5-9.

Ascletis Announces Favorable and Differentiated Pharmacokinetic Profile of ASC30 Oral Once-Daily Tablet in Its U.S. Phase Ib Multiple Ascending Dose Study

–          ASC30 oral once-daily tablet demonstrated approximately 2.3-fold to 3.3-fold greater drug exposure than orforglipron in a cross-trial comparison.

–          Higher drug exposure and favorable tolerability profile positions ASC30 oral once-daily tablet favorably compared to orforglipron.

–         Topline data from the Ascletis’ U.S. Phase IIa study for ASC30 in participants with obesity or overweight are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

HONG KONG, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ascletis Pharma Inc. (HKEX:1672, “Ascletis”) today announces promising topline pharmacokinetic (PK) data from its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ib multiple ascending dose (MAD) study (NCT06680440), conducted in the U.S., of ASC30 oral once-daily tablet in participants with obesity (body mass index (BMI): 30-40 kg/m2). At steady state, ASC30 demonstrated drug exposures (area under the curve over 0-24 hours or AUC0-24h) of 3,560 ng•h/mL and 5,060 ng•h/mL for cohort 1 (20 mg) and cohort 2 (40 mg) , respectively, in the Phase Ib MAD study. These drug exposure data are consistent with placebo-adjusted mean body weight reduction from baseline of 4.5% for cohort 1 (20 mg) and 6.5% for cohort 2 (40 mg) after 28-day treatment, indicating higher drug exposures are associated with greater weight loss.

Based on a cross-trial comparison, 20 mg and 40 mg ASC30 oral once-daily tablet demonstrated greater drug exposure of approximately 2.3-fold and 3.3-fold, respectively, of orforglipron oral once-daily capsule (24 mg cohort, AUC0-24h 1,520 ng•h/mL) [1]. After 28-day treatment, orforglipron (24 mg cohort, AUC0-24h 1,520 ng•h/mL) resulted in only 3.6% placebo-adjusted mean body weight reduction from baseline [1]. Despite high drug exposure of ASC30 in cohort 1 (20 mg, AUC0-24h 3,560 ng•h/mL), there were no incidences of vomiting in cohort 1 (20 mg), whereas orforglipron 24 mg cohort (AUC0-24h 1,520 ng•h/mL) had 18% vomiting[1], suggesting the Ascletis’ chemical lead and formulation optimization strategies played a role in tolerability improvement.

In the Phase Ib MAD study, ASC30 oral once-daily tablet was safe and well tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs) reported and no Grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) including GI-related AEs observed. There were no elevations of liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBL) during the treatment. There were no abnormal findings in laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs (electrocardiograms, including QTc intervals), and physical exams.

“Based on recent clinical data published to date, we believe higher drug exposure leads to greater weight loss for small molecule GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists including orforglipron,” said Jinzi Jason Wu, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ascletis. “I am pleased to see that the higher drug exposures of ASC30 seen in a head-to-head study in non-human primates with orforglipron translated to humans at approximately 2.3-fold to 3.3-fold greater than orforglipron in a cross-trial comparison. Given that higher drug exposures of ASC30 produced more weight loss in participants with obesity, we believe that ASC30 oral once-daily tablet may potentially be competitive and differentiated for the treatment of obesity compared to orforglipron.”

Ascletis announced in early August 2025 that it completed enrollment in its U.S. Phase IIa study for ASC30 in 125 participants with obesity or overweight, with topline data expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

SK hynix Starts Supplying Mobile DRAM with Highly Efficient Heat Dissipation

  • Company first in industry to develop High-K EMC material, improves thermal conductivity by 3.5 times, thermal resistance by 47%
  • Customers expect achievement to help address heat issue generated from on-device AI
  • SK hynix to lead next-generation DRAM for mobile device through technological innovation of materials

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has started supplying mobile DRAM products with highly efficient heat dissipation by adopting the High-K Epoxy Molding Compound* material for the first time in the industry.

* EMC(Epoxy Molding Compound): a critical material for semiconductor packaging that protects chips from various external conditions such as water, heat, impact and electronic charge and provides a channel where heat can be dissipated. High-K EMC raises thermal conductivity with adoption of a material with high heat-transfer coefficient in EMC

The development comes as heat generated in the process of fast data transfer for on-device AI applications results in performance degradation of smartphones. Global smartphone companies welcome the launch of the product on expectations that it will help address the heat issue of high-performance flagship smartphones.

The structure of package on package, or PoP**, that most flagship smartphones adopt and stacks DRAM onto the application processor***, allows efficient use of limited space, while improving data transfer speed. Such system, however, also triggers a performance degradation of the device itself as heat generated within the mobile AP stays inside DRAM.

** PoP(Package on Package): a packaging method commonly used for mobile products. Different types of chips are stacked vertically to improve space efficiency, performance and flexibility of combinations

*** Mobile AP(Application Processor): chip referred to the brain of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets

SK hynix found the solution in improvement of thermal conductivity of EMC, a critical material that covers DRAM package and developed High-K EMC by adding Alumina to Silica, which has been adopted for EMC material so far.

With thermal conductivity improved by 3.5 times and thermal resistance in the vertical course of the heat improved by 47%, the new technology is expected to contribute to a longer battery runtime and  product lifespan by improving performance of a smartphone and reducing power consumption.

“It’s a meaningful achievement that goes beyond a simple performance improvement as it addresses the inconvenience that many high-performance smartphone users may have had,” Lee Gyujei, Head of Package Product Development, said. “We are committed to firmly establishing our technological leadership in the next-generation mobile DRAM market with our technological innovation in materials.”
