Industrie De Nora S.p.a. (De Nora), is supporting the efforts of the Civil Protection Department by deploying four electrochlorination systems in northern Italy, near Milan. The electrochlorination systems produce sodium hypochlorite, a chlorine equivalent that is suitable for the disinfection of hard surfaces and, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is effective against the proliferation of the COVID-19 virus.

“As a result of the coordination and promptness of the Italian Civil Protection, De Nora has provided four units for the on-site production of large quantities of sodium hypochlorite,” said Luca Buonerba, De Nora Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer. “We’re happy to send them to help community centers, public offices, nursing homes and hospitals to deal with this difficult situation. One of the advantages of the on-site electrochlorination systems is that they don’t require or generate hazardous chemicals and there’s no transportation of high-concentration bleach, so safety or availability are never compromised”. Hypochlorite is produced using a simple saline solution - water and salt – and electricity to produce chlorine-based solution.
De Nora has already provided similar systems in China, Japan and Singapore for the sanitization and disinfection of their own offices and production sites in response to COVID-19 outbreaks there. In China, the city of Nankang is using two systems supplied by De Nora, originally for water purification, to aid in the disinfection of buildings and other public areas.
“De Nora prides itself as a partner of choice for customers and end users to ensure the long-term sustainability and security of water supply for the public”, said Dr. Mirka Wilderer, Chief Executive Officer – De Nora Water Technologies. “Coronaviruses are proven not to transmit in water sources, thanks to the tried and tested disinfection processes that water utilities have in place. On-side sodium hypochlorite generators like those given to the Italian Civil Protection are used worldwide for a variety of applications from drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment and microbiological control in cooling towers. They are also now being used to create solutions on demand for sanitization purposes on hard surfaces and in buildings to limit the impact of this new emergency situation.”

IQM Deploys Its First U.S. Quantum Computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory16.6.2026 20:53:00 CEST | Press release
Pathfinder, a 20-qubit IQM Radiance system, is now operational at the home of Frontier, the world's most powerful supercomputer for open science. It’s ORNL's first commercially procured quantum computer and IQM's first system on U.S. soil. It will be connected to high-performance computing systems in the National Center for Computational Sciences Technology Integration Group's test bed. ORNL owns and operates the system on its own campus. IQM's deployment model gives customers direct ownership and control of their quantum infrastructure, including the IP. IQM has sold 23 full-stack quantum systems worldwide, more on-premises systems than any other manufacturer. The deployment expands IQM's commercial presence in the United States ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing through its merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ). The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) today launched Pathfinder, the first commercially procured quantum computer at ORNL, built
Hologic Secures Significant Patent Victory Against Siemens Over Breast Cancer Detection Technology16.6.2026 19:00:00 CEST | Press release
Court orders Siemens to halt production and recall and destroy products across Germany, France and the Netherlands Hologic, Inc. today announced a significant and far-reaching victory in the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Germany, which ruled that Siemens* infringed upon a critical Hologic mammography technology patent in Siemens’ latest mammography system. The court imposed a sweeping injunction, immediately prohibiting Siemens from making, offering, placing on the market, using or importing or storing for those purposes its MAMMOMAT B.brilliant systems across Germany, France and the Netherlands, as well as monetary damages and penalties for non-compliance. The court also required Siemens to execute a mandatory recall and destruction of all affected systems in those countries. On June 10, 2026, the UPC determined that Siemens infringed upon European Patent EP 2 352 431, Hologic’s Focusing Technology on the Envision™ Platform, the first FDA-approved mammography innovation of its kind.1
