Photonis' Ion Detection Technology Enables NASA's Key Research of Aurora Phenomenon

Photonis Channeltron® Electron Multipliers Soar Into the Alaskan Aurora on NASA's DISSIPATION Mission

STURBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / Photonis, a leading brand of Exosens, has supplied U.S. government agency NASA with Channeltron® (Channel Electron Multipliers) to be used to aid in the detection of particles present within the atmospheric phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis.

On Nov. 8, NASA's Goddard Flight Center's DISSIPATION mission took flight aboard a suborbital, two-stage sounding rocket launched from the Poker Flats Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska. The launch occurred shortly after midnight and was timed perfectly with the peak of the aurora that morning, which lasted less than half an hour. Ascending into the auroras, the mission aimed to gather crucial data that will shed light on the intricate process of energy dissipation from high-altitude solar winds into the atmosphere. This knowledge holds significant implications for enhancing our understanding of aurora formation and improving space weather predictions.

The DISSIPATION sub-payload features NASA's MoSAIC (Modular Spectrometer for Atmosphere and Ionization Characterization) instrument equipped with Photonis Channeltron® Channel Electron Multipliers. These specialized detectors play a crucial role in MoSAIC, enabling precise measurements of neutral and ion winds' composition, density, temperature, and velocity in the upper atmosphere.

"We are excited and honored to contribute our advanced Channeltron™ Ion Detection Technology to NASA's DISSIPATION Mission. This collaboration marks another milestone in our commitment to make advanced cutting-edge technology available for the scientific community to explore and understand the mysteries of our universe. We look forward to seeing how our technology aids in unraveling the complexities of the Aurora Borealis and solar winds to improve space weather predictions," said Ulrich Laupper, President and Executive General Manager of the Exosens Ultimate Detection Business Unit.

While it will take scientists a while to analyze all the data, the early results are that the mission was a complete success.

Graid Technology Launches Agentic AI Storage Portfolio to Eliminate KV Cache Bottlenecks21.4.2026 17:00:00 CEST | Press release

From edge inference to NVIDIA STX, purpose-built KV cache infrastructure for consistent performance at scale. SUNNYVALE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / Graid Technology, the pioneer in GPU-accelerated NVMe storage, today announced its Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: a purpose-built family of KV cache solutions designed to eliminate the storage bottleneck that stalls "always-on" production AI. The portfolio spans three deployment tiers: KV Cache Server, KV Cache Rack, and KV Cache Platform, all built on SupremeRAID™ technology. KV Cache Platform, the portfolio's highest tier, is purpose-aligned to NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution on the roadmap for H2 2026. As agentic AI moves from experimentation to production, the infrastructure assumptions that underpinned single-shot inference have broken down. Models running continuous multi-step tasks and maintaining context across hours of operation generate KV cache demands that overwhelm GPU HBM.

87% of HR Leaders Have Conducted or Plan Layoffs in 2026. New LHH Research Reveals How Integrated Outplacement and Targeted Redeployment Protect Future Talent and Support Those Who Must Leave21.4.2026 14:07:00 CEST | Press release

Only 19% of employees recognize redeployment programs that 77% of HR leaders say exist, revealing a critical visibility gap that prevents organizations from retaining future-critical talent and fulfilling their duty of care to departing employees. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / New research from LHH, a global talent solutions provider and business unit of the Adecco Group, finds that 87% of HR leaders say their organization has already conducted or is planning layoffs in the next 12 months, driven by skills displacement, AI transformation, and shifting market demands. At the same time, 62% of employers track rehiring costs and nearly three quarters of those organizations acknowledge that rehiring costs are more than targeted redeployment and mobility. The findings, published in LHH's The Mobility Breakdown: Redeployment and Outplacement Trends Report reveal that as workforce restructuring becomes continuous, most organizations lack integrated outplacement and ta
