The long-term strategic partnership will allow Realta to harness CFS’ expertise in designing and manufacturing high-temperature superconducting magnets, offering an efficient and economical path to accelerate the commercialization of Realta’s technology.

MADISON, Wis. and DEVENS, Mass., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Realta Fusion and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) today announced a long-term strategic partnership for the design and manufacturing of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets that Realta will use to accelerate the commercialization of its compact, scalable, modular – CoSMo fusion™ – energy systems.

CFS will develop magnets for Realta’s demonstration prototypes as well as its commercial fusion power plants under the agreement, which has the potential to reach a multi-billion dollar value. The partnership also includes novel talent-sharing of CFS expertise to support the design, manufacturing, deployment, and operation of HTS magnets for magnetic mirror fusion systems.

“Commercializing magnetic mirror fusion systems requires integrating multiple cutting-edge technologies. By working with the world’s leading HTS magnet manufacturer, we are significantly de-risking one of the most critical of these technologies,” said Realta Fusion CEO Kieran Furlong. “Knowing that we can get the magnets we need, when we need them, from the best developed supply chain, is a huge leap forward for Realta.”

This partnership formalizes a long relationship between the Realta and CFS teams that dates back to 2020, when the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) funded the University of Wisconsin-Madison to build the Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror (WHAM) experiment. Realta spun out of the WHAM initiative in 2022, and CFS provided WHAM with the HTS magnets used to confine its first plasma at a world-record breaking magnetic field strength of 17 tesla in 2024.

“As the world leader in HTS magnet technology development and manufacturing, we are pleased to share our expertise with Realta, and give our growing industry another promising technological opportunity to bring fusion energy to the grid,” said Bob Mumgaard, CEO and Co-founder of CFS. “This partnership allows Realta to tap into the world-class supply chain we built to support our advanced manufacturing capabilities, and that will help it to bring commercial fusion energy to the grid faster.”

About Realta Fusion

Realta Fusion is developing compact, scalable, modular – CoSMo fusion™ energy systems based on the magnetic mirror fusion concept. Realta is backed by leading venture capital investors Khosla Ventures and Future Ventures and is one of just eight companies selected for the U.S. Department of Energy’s flagship Fusion Milestone Program. Realta is based in Madison, WI and operates a working experimental fusion machine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Physical Sciences Laboratory.

OMAHA, Neb., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Kentucky General Assembly overrode the Governor’s veto of Senate Bill 199, making Kentucky the third state in the nation to enact critical legislation protecting farmers’ access to essential crop protection tools, following North Dakota and Georgia last year. SB 199, now law, provides Kentucky farmers with certainty around the tools they rely on every day. The measure passed with broad support in both chambers: the House of Representatives voted 56–32 to override, while the final tally in the Senate was 24–12.

“Farmers need clear, consistent rules to plan for the future and keep their operations profitable,” said Modern Ag Alliance Executive Director Elizabeth Burns-Thompson. “SB 199 provides the clarity they need to keep growing the food, fuel, and fiber that families depend on. We applaud the Kentucky lawmakers who stood up for farmers and brought this critical legislation into law.”

SB 199 reaffirms a simple, longstanding principle: when a crop protection product meets the rigorous scientific standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and is used according to its label, that label is the law. This clarity is critical to ensuring farmers and foresters can continue to access the products they depend on.

Kentucky agriculture generates nearly $50 billion annually and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs across the Commonwealth. From row crops to livestock and forestry, producers rely on crop protection tools to manage invasive weeds, maintain productivity, and plan for the future.

Without them, research shows yields could decline by as much as 70%, while food inflation could more than double—impacts that would be felt far beyond the farm.

The importance of these tools extends beyond row crop agriculture. Forestry operations rely on them to manage invasive species and ensure successful regeneration, protecting Kentucky’s forests and the industries they support. Across the agricultural economy, these tools play a vital role in maintaining productivity, affordability, and long-term sustainability.

“At the end of the day, SB 199 is about making sure producers have what they need to do their jobs, support their families, and keep Kentucky’s economy strong,” said Burns-Thompson. “We are grateful to the Kentucky General Assembly for recognizing the importance of this issue for farmers and delivering a lasting impact for communities across the Commonwealth.”

The bill, sponsored by Senators Jason Howell and Craig Richardson, was carried in the House by Representative Ryan Bivens and championed by a coalition of 14 Kentucky agricultural and business organizations, which collectively represent tens of thousands of Kentucky producers. This coalition includes the Kentucky Farm Bureau, Kentucky Soybean Association, Kentucky Corn Growers’ Association, Kentucky Small Grain Growers’ Association, Kentucky Forest Industry Association, Kentucky Woodland Owners Association, Kentucky Retail Federation, AgriBusiness Association of Kentucky, Kentucky Burley and Dark Tobacco Producers Association, Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association, Kentucky Dairy Development Council, Kentucky Pork Producers Association, Kentucky Poultry Federation, and Southern Crop Production Association.

NEWARK, Calif., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced that the Lucid Gravity has been named 2026 World Luxury Car of the Year by the esteemed World Car Awards program. In an awards category open to electric, hybrid, and internal-combustion vehicles, Lucid’s all-electric SUV was recognized by a global jury of more than 100 acclaimed automotive journalists from around the globe. Lucid is now 2-for-2 in this award category, with the Lucid Air sedan named World Luxury Car of the Year in 2023. Now in its 22^nd year, the World Car Awards aim to recognize, reward and inspire automotive excellence, leadership and innovation in a rapidly changing automotive industry on a global scale.

“This recognition reflects the strength of Lucid’s product vision and the exceptional execution of our team,” said Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO of Lucid. “Lucid Gravity brings together the space and versatility of a full-size SUV with sports‑car‑like driving dynamics and a refined luxury experience, enabled by our proprietary technology and engineering. Together, these qualities set a new benchmark for what a world‑class luxury SUV can be.”

ST. LOUIS, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is helping support pets and people in rural Western Alaska by donating 45,000 pounds of Purina dog food to communities still recovering from Typhoon Halong.

The storm struck Alaska in October 2025 and brought hurricane-force winds and catastrophic flooding, heavily impacting nearly 50 rural and native communities. In many of these regions, dogs play a critical role in daily life, providing not only companionship, but transportation and safety—making access to nutrient dense pet food essential.

Purina learned about the ongoing need in Western Alaska from Dr. Arleigh Reynolds, DVM, PhD, D.A.C.V.N., a retired Purina veterinarian, scientist and current medical advisor working with Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving animal health in remote Alaska communities. “Purina has a long and dedicated history of helping pets and their owners when they need it most. Dogs play a huge role in the emotional and mental health resilience and recovery responses to traumatic events like this typhoon. We are so very grateful for this lifesaving support,” said Dr Reynolds.

“Dogs are essential to daily life in many of Alaska’s rural communities, and access to food can be a real challenge long after a disaster makes headlines,” said Angie Fitch, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc. “Purina’s generosity—and the commitment of so many transportation partners—will make a meaningful difference for dog owners in communities that are still working to recover months after Typhoon Halong. This support helps ensure families can continue caring for the dogs they love and depend on.”

Moved by the scale and persistent challenges facing pet owners months after the storm, Purina mobilized a plan to send help. In addition to producing and donating a full truckload of dog food, Purina partnered with Greater Good Charities to coordinate the logistics required to transport the donation from the Purina factory in Eden, North Carolina, to a port in Tacoma, Washington. An emergency grant from the Purina Foundation covered the more than $6,000 in shipping costs, ensuring the food could make the long journey from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest and continue on to Western Alaska.

Alaska Native Rural Veterinary, Inc. is now working with a network of transportation partners to deliver the donated dog food directly to pet owners in remote communities. These partners include TOTE Maritime, Carlile Transportation, Alaska Air Transit, Resolve Aviation, Aleutian Airways, NAC Alaska, Ryan Air, Warbelows Air Ventures and Everts Air —each playing a critical role in reaching communities that are often accessible only by air or sea.

“Recovery doesn’t end when the storm passes, especially in rural and remote communities,” said Kim Beardslee, Director of Community Affairs at Purina. “We’re proud to work alongside trusted partners to help ensure pets and people have the resources they need as these communities continue to rebuild.”

Supporting communities in times of crisis is a core part of Purina’s commitment to keeping pets and people together. In the wake of a natural disaster, Purina works closely with Greater Good Charities to provide timely assistance—combining pet food donations, emergency funding, and operational expertise to help pet owners care for their animals during recovery. From immediate response to long‑term rebuilding, Purina focuses on meeting critical needs where access to resources may be limited, ensuring pets continue to receive the care they deserve as communities heal.
