These ultra-thin newcomers promise to deliver compact power that redefine simplicity wherever life takes you.

While the PicoGo Ultra-Slim Power Banks are similar in many ways, each device also promises to deliver unique charging capabilities that redefine simplicity wherever life takes you. Now, let’s take a look at some of the main highlights of the latest additions to the Baseus PicoGo lineup.

Baseus PicoGo Card-Sized Magnetic Power Bank Series: Main Shared Features

Ultra-Slim and Portable: The PicoGo AM41 Ultra-Slim Power Bank (5000mAh) is just 0.3 inches thin and can seamlessly fit into your wallet like a credit card – allowing you to carry it everywhere you go. Additionally, the PicoGo AM31 Ultra Mini Power Bank with Kickstand (5000mAh) makes its mark as the world’s smallest Qi2-certified wireless power bank with a kickstand, ensuring effortless portability. While slightly larger than the others in the series, the PicoGo Qi2 AM41 Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) remains impressively slim compared to similar products and also provides Qi2 fast wireless charging.

Triple-Cooling System for Safer Charging: Every PicoGo Ultra-Slim Power Bank in this series features a built-in aluminum alloy cooling system that ensures 98% heat dissipation efficiency. Each device is also equipped with an AI monitoring chip to track its temperature 18,000 times per hour to ensure consistently cooling and optimal safety. Graphene technology further expands each power bank’s heat dissipation over a 5,119 mm² surface area, to prevent overheating.

USB-C Dual Fast Wired Charging: Always be prepared and seamlessly charge two devices at the same time with the durable braided USB-C cable and additional port fitted onto each PicoGo Power Bank. The PicoGo AM41 Ultra-Slim Power Bank (5000mAh) and AM31 Ultra Mini Qi2 (5000mAh) models both provide 20W USB-C fast charging, while the PicoGo AM41 Magnetic Qi2 Power Bank (10,000mAh) uses 27W USB-C fast charging for even faster power delivery.

Snap-to-Charge Magnetic Wireless Charging: The PicoGo Ultra-Slim Power Bank range uses strong built-in magnets that allow each power bank to be securely attached to a device – even through a phone case – ensuring a stable and convenient charging experience.

Enhanced Grip and Comfort: Every PicoGo Ultra-Slim Power Bank comes draped in a sleek aluminum shell combined with a soft silicone finish for a premium feel. The ergonomic curved design of each device also enhances grip – making charging comfortable and effortless.

Unique Features in the PicoGo Card-Sized Magnetic Power Bank Range

15W Qi2 Certified Fast Wireless Charging: To stay ahead of the game, the PicoGo AM41 Ultra-Slim Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh Qi2 features Qi2 charging for an elevated experience. With officially certified Qi2 (15W), your wireless charging speed is twice as fast as Qi (7.5W), your magnetic connection is stronger, and your battery’s performance is more optimized.

Built-in Kickstand and Qi2 Charging: On the other hand, the PicoGo AM31 Ultra Mini Power Bank Qi2 (5000mAh) is built for hands-free use with an innovative and convenient pop-up stand. This allows you to stream your favorite shows or scroll through your phone while it charges – offering both upright and side-view angles while also serving as a desktop stand. It also features Qi2 wireless charging for hands-free convenience and optimal charging efficiency.

The latest additions to the Baseus PicoGo Series promise to redefine simplicity with their peak performance capabilities, safer cooling mechanisms, and portable designs. Baseus welcomes you to a world where you’re in charge. With unrivaled power in an ultra-slim design, you can always stay charged, stay light, and stay connected.

Tsubame BHB signs LOI with Brazilian Company on Green Ammonia Manufacturing Facilities Project

– Accelerating toward the first unit ordered overseas –

YOKOHAMA, Japan, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tsubame BHB Co., Ltd. (“Tsubame BHB”), which is aiming for the social implementation and commercialization of distributed ammonia manufacturing plants, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with ATVOS AGROINDUSTRIAL PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A in Brazil (“Atvos”), one of the leading biofuels companies in Brazil regarding a green aqueous ammonia factory in Mineiros (GO), where Atvos’s Morro Vermelho Unit (UMV) is located, responsible for ethanol production.

The new plant will have an installed capacity of 20,000 tons of the product. It will be used to replace fossil-based fertilizers applied to agricultural areas at both UMV and the Alto Taquari Unit (UAT), located in the homonymous municipality in Mato Grosso. With this solution, Atvos estimates it will avoid the emission of approximately 11 thousand tons of CO2 per year, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Japan-Brazil Economic Forum
Japan-Brazil Economic Forum

The execution of this LOI was witnessed by Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, at the Japan-Brazil Economic Forum held in Tokyo on March 26, 2025. On 28th March, Mr. Caio Dafico, Investment and Business Development VP at Atvos, visited Tsubame BHB for a tour of the pilot plant, and to conduct discussions on future directions for the project.

Tsubame BHB will further accelerate its efforts to secure this first order for an overseas unit, and to rapidly promote overseas deployment.

Comment from Atvos CEO Bruno Serapião

As one of the largest biofuels producers in Brazil with the purpose to lead the energy transition to move the world and transform lives, Atvos seeks to contribute to the decarbonization of the globe’s leading economies while also reducing the carbon footprint of its own operations. Thus, the partnership with Tsubame to produce green ammonia represents a significant step toward achieving this goal, as it will enable us to reduce the use of fossil-based nitrogen fertilizers and further strengthen our commitment to fostering the social and economic development of the countryside cities where we are located through job and income generation.

Comment from Tsubame BHB CEO Koji Nakamura

Brazil has great potential to become a major producer of green hydrogen, by leveraging its abundant renewable energy resources, and it is also a major agricultural nation that consumes nitrogen-based fertilizers in high volumes. As such, I believe that it is one of the countries that can manufacture green ammonia as a fertilizer at the small distributed ammonia synthesis plants offered by Tsubame BHB. I consider it a great honor to be able to collaborate with a major Brazilian bioethanol manufacturing company like Atvos, and I hope that through this collaboration, we can contribute to the decarbonization of agriculture in Brazil.

About Atvos

Atvos is one of Brazil’s leading biofuel companies and produces Sugarcane Ethanol, Very High Polarity (VHP) sugar, plus sustainable electricity using sugarcane biomass. From this raw material, the company has the capacity to produce around 3.3 billion liters of ethanol, which can power 60 million compact cars, plus 750,000 tones of VHP sugar, and cogenerate approximately 4,200 GWh of electricity from biomass – enough to supply a population of more than 20 million people. Atvos has around 11,000 employees in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo, democratizing economic development in the countryside of Brazil where its eight agro-industrial units are located.

As a major player in the generation of clean and renewable energy, the company is one of the main national issuers of Decarbonization Credits (CBIOs), having renewed the RenovaBio certification of all its agro-industrial operations. Through Social Energy, another Atvos program, it supports projects focused on issues including education, culture, health, safety, the environment, and production activities. The initiative aims to foster socio-economic development and improve the quality of life in communities where the company operates. For more information, please visit https://atvos.com/.

MoEngage Makes Migration Effortless with “MoUpgrade”

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Upgrading to an advanced cross-channel customer engagement platform can often seem time-consuming, costly, and full of operational challenges. That’s why MoEngage is redefining the migration experience with MoUpgrade, a first-of-its-kind program designed to help brands transition smoothly with zero disruptions, minimal cost, and maximum efficiency.

With 300+ brands already making the switch, MoUpgrade ensures seamless migration to MoEngage through automation, expert guidance, and cost-saving incentives.

“Switching platforms can seem like a nightmare. But it doesn’t have to be,” said Raviteja Dodda, CEO and Co-founder of MoEngage. “MoUpgrade makes it easy. Our team handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters – engaging your customers and driving growth.”

The No-Stress, No-Mess Way to Switch Platforms

MoUpgrade has been designed with three strategic pillars in mind:

  1. Automated Agents for Faster Migration
    MoEngage’s intelligent automation tools convert your customer data, event history, and campaign workflows into MoEngage-compatible formats—quickly, accurately, and with minimal manual intervention.
  2. Dedicated Migration Experts at Your Service
    A specialized migration team (a.k.a. your personal pit crew) helps with the more complex aspects—sophisticated workflows, advanced logic, and hands-on product training. With experience handling 300+ migrations, they ensure a seamless transition.
  3. Migration Credits to Reduce Switching Costs
    MoEngage provides “migration credits” that help offset overlapping costs, ensuring a cost-efficient switch that minimizes total cost of ownership (TCO) and maximizes return on investment (ROI).

Most brands delay switching because they anticipate a complicated & unforgiving process — from data loss that wipes out critical customer insights to broken workflows leading to operational chaos and high costs of running two systems in parallel. We’re here to change that,” added Yash Reddy, Chief Business Officer at MoEngage. “We’ve combined technology, expert support, and financial flexibility to ensure that brands can transition confidently and easily.”

Florida Theranostics Brings Cutting-Edge United Imaging Digital PET/CT to Palm Beach County, Florida

The uMI Panorama™ from United Imaging is the first in Florida.

HOUSTON, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — United Imaging, a global manufacturer of modern medical imaging technology, will feature its uMI Panorama at a state-of-the-art new facility in Jupiter, FL.

Focused on patient-centered and precision medicine, Florida Theranostics is committed to establishing a high-quality level of personalized patient care and an emphasis on a comprehensive treatment experience for the surrounding communities. They celebrate their grand opening today, just one short year after achieving the Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Center of Excellence designation from SNMMI (Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging), the only one in South Florida, according to their website.

A special introduction at today’s grand opening in Jupiter is the digital positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner from United Imaging. A PET/CT scan is a non-invasive imaging technique that combines the functional information of a PET scan with the detailed anatomical data of a CT scan. This powerful combination allows physicians to detect and monitor a wide range of medical conditions including cancer.

“Florida Theranostics is built upon the foundation of precision medicine, committed to delivering efficient, precise, and empathetic treatment to every patient we serve. Our goal is to be at the forefront of the radioligand therapy and molecular imaging field of medicine, establishing ourselves as a top leader in the south Florida region. We believe leveraging cutting-edge technology such as the United Imaging uMI Panorama PET/CT will bring us closer to achieving that goal.”

The uMI Panorama is differentiated by several crucial features:

– The best resolution in the industry, enabling lesions to be seen earlier and treated earlier (2.9 mm NEMA PET resolution and sub 200 ps timing resolution; data on file)

– Large 76 cm bore and 700 lbs. table weight capacity to scan all types of patients from pediatric to bariatric

– Ultra-fast whole-body scanning at low doses

– AI-enabled workflow with a 3D camera for patient positioning and reproducibility

– A large 35 cm axial field of view PET and a 160-slice CT to provide high quality functional and anatomical images while maximizing the patient experience

“PET/CT scans provide a potentially lifesaving level of detail that can be crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment planning,” commented Jeffrey M. Bundy, Ph.D., CEO of United Imaging Healthcare North America. “We’re proud that our digital PET/CT has been selected by such an outstanding team to support their mission in Florida.”
