WILMINGTON, Del. – November 02, 2026 -- The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) has launched Faizeon, a five-fluid portfolio for two-phase liquid cooling in AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and high-density data centers. In independent third-party testing, a two-phase direct-to-chip system using Faizeon 200 kept a GPU up to 19 degrees Celsius cooler than a single-phase, water-based fluid, at a lower coolant flow rate.

Chemours splits the Faizeon range into four direct-to-chip fluids and one immersion fluid

The portfolio covers both two-phase direct-to-chip and two-phase immersion cooling. The fluids absorb heat by changing from liquid to vapor, which removes heat from high-power processors and servers as chip power and rack densities rise.

The range breaks down as follows:

BARCELONA – November 03, 2026 -- Linker Vision has unveiled Linker AI Nexa, a platform that links real-time city data to government standard operating procedures (SOPs), and a Taipei pilot shows tree survey throughput rising from roughly 100 to over 1,000 trees per person per day. The company presented the system at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026. It combines physical AI and agentic AI with NVIDIA technologies to coordinate public safety, resilience and sustainability actions.

Nexa runs a four-step loop from sensing to action

It then identifies responsible teams and recommended actions based on city SOPs (Decide) and triggers responses through connected systems (Act). Security policies and operational controls govern AI-driven actions.
