Perfect for warm climates, humid environments, and year-round use, SleepEase offers a balance of performance, comfort, and elevated design.

Bedsure CoolOxy Comforter 2.0: Breathable Design for Lasting Cooling

Building on customer feedback, the CoolOxy Comforter 2.0 introduces a smarter approach to cooling, prioritizing continuous airflow and moisture management over short-term cooling effects.

Key features include:

• 7 cm zoned airflow system to release trapped heat
• Micro-perforated jacquard fabric for enhanced ventilation
• Breathable fill blend (31% TENCEL™ + microfiber) to wick away moisture
• Lightweight construction inspired by performance sportswear

Designed to combat nighttime overheating, humidity, and poor airflow, CoolOxy 2.0 helps maintain a dry, comfortable sleep environment throughout the night.

With more consumers searching for cooling bedding, breathable comforters, and solutions for hot sleeping, Bedsure continues to innovate with products that address real sleep challenges. Both the SleepEase and CoolOxy Comforter 2.0 are ideal for anyone struggling with night sweats, heat retention, or disrupted sleep due to temperature.

Both newly launched cooling comforters are part of the “Bedsure New Arrivals” campaign on TikTok Shop. The campaign runs from April 8, 8:00 PM to April 15, 7:59 PM ET (Eastern Time), and consumers can explore and shop here.

Nikon Contributes to Research on the Effects of Microgravity in Drug Discovery

TOKYO, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce that the live cell observation system developed by Nikon and its U.S.-based subsidiary Nikon Instruments Inc. (NII) has been selected for “research on the effects of microgravity in life sciences and drug discovery” on board the International Space Station (ISS), supported by the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), manager of the ISS National Laboratory. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 24 mission is set to launch to the space station from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida in early April 2026. On this mission, foundational operational verification will be conducted for an observational microscope system used to culture, maintain, and observe live cells and tissues.

Since the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, Nikon cameras and lenses have been used in various NASA missions and space shuttle explorations. Most recently, the Nikon Z9, the flagship model of Nikon’s mirrorless camera lineup, is in use on the ISS. This high reliability and technological capability have also been demonstrated in the field of microscopy, where Nikon has a proven track record of providing microscopes for use on the ISS. In 2021, the company was selected for an ISS development support project for private companies, supported by CASIS with U.S. government grant funding. This research focuses on developing equipment that enables long-term visual analysis of cell behavior and biological tissue responses to pharmaceuticals in the limited space of the ISS experiment module. The contract for this project has been concluded between NASA and NII, with NII responsible for project management and Nikon and NII jointly responsible for development of the live cell observation system.

On the ISS, observations using MPS* will be conducted via the Nikon Experimentation Microscope in Orbit (NEMO), a system combining Nikon’s live cell observation system which can observe and evaluate the behavior of cells and biological tissues with high precision, and a cell culture incubator and automated media perfusion system developed by BioServe Space Technologies (BioServe) in Boulder, Colorado, U.S. BioServe’s system maintains an optimal environment for cells, while Nikon’s live cell observation system serves as the microscope, enabling high-precision evaluation and analysis of the effects of microgravity on living organisms through observation of cell behavior and biological tissue responses in space.

Understanding the effects of gravity on biological tissues is an important area of research for accelerating human extraterrestrial activities, and is expected to potentially lead to elucidating the causes of aging phenomena and diseases in living organisms. For this reason, it is attracting attention from global life science companies, including pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms aiming to develop pharmaceuticals, as cutting-edge research.

Through this project, Nikon will leverage the technical advantages and insights gained to serve as a bridge connecting space and Earth, continuing to contribute to life science research and technological innovation.

New detection resource equips financial institutions to identify and stop human trafficking and scams associated with World Cup events

NEW YORK and LISBON, Portugal, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As millions of fans prepare to travel, spend, and engage online during the 2026 FIFA World Cup—spanning 16 venues across the United States, Canada, and Mexico—The Knoble and Feedzai are providing a tool to empower and guide financial institutions to detect human trafficking and scams activity targeting their customers and systems.

In a new guide, Human Trafficking & Scam Detection Guide: World Cup 2026, The Knoble, a nonprofit network that brings together financial institutions, law enforcement, and industry practitioners to combat human trafficking and financial exploitation, with support from Feedzai, a global technology company that helps banks detect and prevent financial crime, outline how criminals exploit large-scale events, from fake ticket sales and rental scams to human trafficking. The guide also details how financial institutions can detect, prevent, and respond to these threats, with additional guidance on how institutions can support and protect customers.

While these crimes occur year-round, major events can aggregate and localize both scam activity and enforcement efforts. Around this year’s Super Bowl, coordinated anti-trafficking operations led to nearly 30 arrests and the identification of more than 70 victims. At the same time, financial institutions have reported increases of up to 80% in scam incidents surrounding major event ticket releases, as demand and urgency peak.

“Major events like the World Cup bring people together, but they also create urgency, excitement, and distraction, which scammers and criminal networks exploit,” said Ian Mitchell, Founder of The Knoble. “The goal of this guide is to raise awareness of what’s happening behind the scenes and how financial institutions play an important role in detecting these crimes.”

Scams Are Just the Starting Point

While many consumers are familiar with ticket fraud and travel scams, the guide highlights a more complex reality: these schemes often connect to broader forms of human exploitation.

Criminal networks use scams not only to steal money, but also to move funds quickly across accounts or recruit individuals into activities such as money mule schemes, where victims unknowingly transfer illicit funds. In more severe cases, financial patterns tied to travel, lodging, and payments can signal human trafficking operations.

This convergence of fraud and exploitation underscores the need for a more integrated approach to detection and prevention. The guide is designed to support real-time detection and investigations, helping financial institutions identify suspicious activity, share intelligence, and work with law enforcement to disrupt criminal networks.

“Financial safety is human safety,” said Nuno Sebastião, CEO and Co-Founder of Feedzai. “By analyzing the patterns of how money moves and understanding signals of criminal activity and exploitation, the better the chances are that we can prevent real harm from being done.”

The Critical Role of Banks and Credit Unions

Financial institutions can see patterns across accounts, payment types, and geographies—giving them a unique ability to detect suspicious activity. According to the guide, red flags may include:

• Unusual spikes in peer-to-peer payments or first-time transfers
• Clusters of hotel bookings and late-night ATM withdrawals
• Accounts rapidly receiving and moving funds with little personal spending
• Multiple accounts linked by shared contact details or devices

By connecting signals across systems, banks can identify coordinated activity that would otherwise go unnoticed, making them a critical line of defense against both scams and exploitation.

The guide underscores that prevention also depends on awareness. Many scams tied to major events rely on urgency—limited ticket availability, last-minute travel deals, or “exclusive” access offers.

Drawing on these insights, consumers should be cautious of common red flags, including requests for payment via peer-to-peer apps from unknown individuals, deals that seem unusually urgent or underpriced, first-time requests to send money or purchase cryptocurrency, and messages impersonating travel providers, event organizers, or officials. While financial institutions are strengthening detection, informed consumers remain a critical line of defense.

A Shared Responsibility to Protect Trust

At a broader level, the guide reinforces the reality that financial crime is a coordinated, global problem that requires collaboration among financial institutions, law enforcement, and industry networks.

Today, many organizations still operate with fragmented visibility, making it harder to detect coordinated criminal activity. Efforts like this guide aim to close those gaps, equipping institutions with shared intelligence and practical guidance to act earlier and more effectively.

Feedzai’s work with financial institutions focuses on helping them detect these risks in real time, connecting data across channels to identify patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed and, ultimately, protecting both consumers and the financial system.

“Trust is what keeps the financial system moving,” added Sebastião. “Protecting people from scams and exploitation is fundamental to maintaining that trust.”

The Awards Ceremony will take place Thursday, April 23, from 5:00–6:30 p.m. BST at the New Theatre in Oxford and via livestream. Click here to register to attend the Forum online, or email press@skoll.org to request a press pass to attend the Forum in person.

“This year’s winners of the Skoll Award for Social Innovation prove that when bold, creative leaders set their sights on a problem, their resolve and commitment lead to global systems change. Through innovative partnerships with affected communities and cross-sector collaboration, they are driving impact and lasting change in the fields of health, education, and public benefits,” said Marla Blow, CEO & President of the Skoll Foundation. “Even in the face of profound shocks to the social impact space, these organizations are not simply maintaining their impact; they are increasing it exponentially. We hope their stories will inspire other social entrepreneurs to continue their pursuit of transformational change.”

More details about the 2026 recipients of the Skoll Award for Social Innovation:

ChildLife Foundation

Pakistan faces one of the highest child mortality rates in the world, with nearly 1,000 children dying every day from treatable conditions like pneumonia. ChildLife Foundation works to prevent those deaths by strengthening Pakistan’s struggling pediatric emergency care system. It partners with government to rehabilitate and manage pediatric ERs within public hospitals, delivering world-class care through modern facilities and equipment, efficient systems and well-trained teams. Additionally, ChildLife Foundation’s 24/7 telemedicine network links over 300 district hospitals to pediatric specialists, covering 90 percent of the population. This system has achieved a tenfold reduction in child mortality in the ERs ChildLife manages. By building government doctors’ capacity and scaling to 40 modernized ERs and more than 400 telemedicine sites, the organization hopes to deliver life-saving care to 20 million children each year.

Indus Action

India spends $150 billion annually on more than 5,000 social protection programs, yet complex processes prevent nearly 800 million citizens from accessing the benefits they are entitled to receive. An estimated 25 percent of legislated benefits — including those for students, workers and new mothers — never reach their intended recipients, trapping millions in cycles of poverty. Indus Action bridges this gap through a three-pronged approach: building government delivery capacity; leveraging technology to design open-source, citizen-centric solutions; and using research to improve benefit-delivery systems. By engaging both citizens and state agencies, Indus Action is transforming constitutional commitments into impact by ensuring vulnerable Indians can access education, health care and financial programs that provide pathways out of poverty. By 2030, the organization aims to seamlessly connect 30 million citizens to all the benefits for which they are eligible.

SmartStart

High-quality early childhood care and education boosts child outcomes, creates new jobs and enables parents to work. Yet in South Africa, over one million 3- to 5-year-olds don’t have access, perpetuating the economic exclusion of poor communities. SmartStart‘s model enables underemployed community members to convert their homes and community spaces into licensed early learning enterprises for excluded children. By combining training, materials, coaching, compliance support and peer networks, SmartStart’s social franchise model makes quality early learning affordable, accessible and community-owned. At the same time, the model unlocks stable, dignified livelihood opportunities for thousands of microentrepreneurs. Through deep collaboration with government and other partners, SmartStart has grown into South Africa’s leading early learning network, with 15,000 programs currently reaching 160,000 children per week. The organization is now building the systems, capabilities and partnerships to grow its impact beyond its direct delivery footprint and reach 1 million children by 2030.
