NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence (“AI”) isn’t being slowed by a lack of computing power, it’s being constrained by electricity. As AI expands globally, data centers are consuming energy at an unprecedented rate, outpacing what utilities can deliver, overloading aging grids and driving up costs for consumers. The result is a growing realization: the digital economy urgently needs a new, scalable source of clean energy. One emerging contender is natural hydrogen. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) projects that global data-center electricity demand will more than double by 2030 to nearly 945 terawatt-hours (“TWh”), with AI-optimized facilities expected to quadruple their consumption over the same period. In the United States, data-center power use could also double by 2035, reaching roughly 9% of national electricity demand. Simply put, computing growth is outstripping the pace of grid expansion. That’s why leading tech companies and investors are turning their focus to securing energy itself. One of the most promising new frontiers in that pursuit is natural, or geologic, hydrogen. MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) ( profile ) stands at the forefront of this movement as the first publicly traded company in North America dedicated to commercial natural hydrogen. The company controls about 1.3 million permitted acres in Saskatchewan, including the 124-mile-long Genesis Trend, positioned alongside an industrial corridor and proposed Hydrogen Hub, with multiple high-priority targets. With its mission to meet the soaring energy demands of AI, MAX Power joins leading AI innovators such as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD), each advancing the intersection of…

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : The global cancer-therapy landscape is undergoing a rapid evolution toward precision drug-delivery systems designed to boost efficacy, limit toxicity and elevate patient outcomes. Conventional oral and intravenous treatments continue to face significant challenges, chief among them low bioavailability and inadequate tumor targeting. These factors often limit the success of these treatments in clinical settings. Breakthroughs in nanomedicine are now addressing these obstacles, with growing support from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), along with other regulators for nanocarrier-based delivery technologies used in advanced therapeutics. This accelerating adoption highlights a broader shift across the industry: a race to optimize how medicines are transported, absorbed, and activated within the human body. Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) ( profile ) is at the forefront of this movement with its proprietary Deciparticle(TM) platform, designed to enhance both the bioavailability and therapeutic index of existing oncology drugs. By improving the performance of underutilized compounds, the technology could help redefine standards for cancer treatment. The company’s recent advancement of Sapu-003 into human trials reflects growing traction for this approach, demonstrating how next-generation delivery science can unlock new therapeutic value and reshape the future of oncology innovation. Oncotelic Therapeutics is committed to making a difference in the global oncology space, positioning itself as an innovator along with other companies working to make a difference in cancer treatment, including Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc . (NASDAQ: IOVA), Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK), Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and…

Trilogy Metals (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), leveraging its copper-rich assets in Alaska, is strategically positioned amidst a wave of favorable policy changes. “First, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to overturn restrictive land designations in central Yukon, opening up millions of acres previously locked from development.

Patients are overwhelmed when they are diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most deadly primary brain cancer. It resists existing treatments and recurs in all patients, with a relatively short survival time averaging 14-18 months. Understanding the rate of remission for this disease can therefore enable patients and their caregivers to have a clear picture of what to expect, and therefore be guided in making any decisions they need to make.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : Over the past year, gold, silver and other precious metals have staged a consistent up-move that is reshaping the investment case for the mining sector. Driven by inflation pressures, global uncertainty, central-bank buying and tight supply, the precious-metals complex today offers more than a safe-haven hedge: it presents a credible growth opportunity. While equities remain volatile and many sectors face structural headwinds, mining companies tied to precious metals are emerging as both compelling and relatively stable investment options. Amid this backdrop, the timing of a mining company’s transition from exploration to production becomes especially significant. It is precisely when a junior miner pivots into producer status — when it has defined assets, a processing route and imminent cash flow — that the upside potential is often greatest as earlier exploration uncertainty has been resolved and asset value starts to convert from potential into concrete economics.
