A wellness product can sound simple until it has to cross a border. The same supplement formula may need a different dose, label claim, price, manufacturing setup, or sales channel depending on where it is sold. Miss one dependency, and a company can discover a problem only after it has substantially spent on product development and production planning. That is the risk Pinos Korea wants to address with PINOS-X, a B2B decision-support platform for companies developing and launching wellness prod

Hard water can leave hair feeling dry, skin feeling tight, and soap harder to rinse away. MakeMake believes it has a portable answer: PERLUO, a battery-free tumbler that prepares a small amount of softer water for personal cleansing. PERLUO is NOT a water bottle or a drinking-water purifier. Instead, it is meant for people to use water on their face, hair, or skin. Fill the bottle with tap water, add its replaceable cartridge, shake it for about 60 seconds, and use the treated water as part of a

Datacenters construction have become one of the most controversial topics in the United States (and elsewhere). People are asking whether the ones already arriving will raise electricity costs, overload the local grid, and bring more polluting generators into their neighborhoods. AES Tech, a South Korean startup, is pitching a technical answer to part of that problem: make hydrogen on site from liquid ammonia, then use it to replace some of the natural gas burned in a data centers power turbines

Getting clear dental aligners means building a sequence of slightly different aligners, each based on how a specific patients teeth are expected to move.
