The focus is primarily on achieving “more precise and efficient thermal management”:
System Optimization: This research is not just about improving individual components. It involves a systematic engineering approach that encompasses the entire thermal management system, from the heating section to the cooling segment.
Precise Temperature Control: By enhancing the thermal conductivity of the tobacco substrate, heat transfer becomes faster and more uniform. This reduces issues like localized overheating or insufficient heating, thereby improving flavor consistency and potentially lowering the risk of harmful substance generation.
Efficient Cooling: Innovative materials are used to significantly increase the cooling section’s ability to lower the temperature of the high-temperature aerosol, which improves the inhalation experience.
US Technology events weekly highlight
CES 2026 Highlights The Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) was held in Las Vegas, United States, from January 6 to January 9, and emerged as one of the most important global technology events of the week. The exhibition brought together leading semiconductor companies, AI platforms, and hardware manufacturers, underscoring a clear shift from standalone smart devices toward the convergence of AI, robotics, automation, and industrial applications. • Major companies such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel unveiled or showcased AI platforms, advanced chips, and robotics technologies, highlighting the continued expansion of AI across hardware stacks and technology ecosystems. • The Internet of Things (IoT), robotics (ranging from home robots to service robots), wearable devices, smart home solutions, and industrial intelligent equipment were among the key highlights of the exhibition. • Overall, CES 2026 reflected the extension of technology innovation from consumer electronics into industrial intelligence and automation, demonstrating the broad adoption of AI across diverse endpoints and ecosystems.
Technology sector market performances and capital flows
During the week’s trading sessions, U.S. equity markets showed sectoral divergence. Technology stocks came under pressure, while defense-related and other traditional sectors attracted increased capital inflows. Investors remained cautious ahead of the upcoming nonfarm payrolls data and continued to monitor potential political decisions that could affect trade policies and technology competition.
Autonomous driving and AI continued to draw significant attention at CES, reflecting growing interest from the automotive industry in AI-integrated technologies, despite adjustments to traditional electric vehicle deployment plans.
• AI adoption across robotics, smart hardware, and wearable devices continued to accelerate, signaling a broader transition from traditional consumer-focused products toward an integrated intelligent ecosystem.
