ChiaArk: The POS mining machine went live on Jul. 12

Published

on

On Jul. 12, 2021, the ChiaArk POS mining machine went live! Advocating a new carbon neutrality ecology, building a new economic entity subject to continuous cycle and promoting green living and production, ChiaArk consolidates step by step and moves ahead steadily.

What is ChiaArk?

As the ancillary incentive token of global miner, ChiaArk hammers at creating a green incentive layer to assist Chia in achieving the first corporate digital asset that is compliant and environmentally friendly in the world to increase several times of sustainable income for global miners, call on global miners to mine with zero energy consumption and promote the sustainable development of XCH.

XCHA is a negotiable token for incentive and reward of Chia miners and each miner participating in Chia mining has a chance to get it free of charge. When the Chia miner gets a XCH, ChiaArk will freely input 0.1 billion XCHAs and destroy 0.1 billion XCHAs at the same time.

Background of ChiaArk emergence

Since coming out, the digital currency based on Blockchain technology has are booming. Almost all the cryptocurrencies are produced based on various consensus mechanisms, and the mining business has become the cornerstone of the entire cryptocurrency industry.

With the development of the whole industry, the mining has also grown rapidly, while the original mining by the self-purchase mining machine has gradually faded out of the historical stage, and was replaced by the cluster mining mode in the form of mining pool due to the continuous improvement of the mining industry model. In the current stage, the mining model of verifying the transaction by single-purpose ASIC hardware has been criticized, while the Chia model for mining via remaining disk space (mining via hard disk) will become the new time minion.

Although the Chia mining has matured, the current ecological construction is still in the initial stage, and there are still some improvements to be made. Chia Ark is for filling the gap.   

Advantages of ChiaArk

The Chia Ark incentive mechanism is used for real-time measurement of the contribution made by each person via a series of intelligent equipment and algorithms in the Blockchain, and then such measurement is converted into incentive by reasonable token to be sent to the contributor promptly. The final value of these tokens depends on what we do, how much value is created by us and the specific provisions in the agreement. The tool-token is used together with the contract, and its final design goal is to enable the doer to pursue personal interests and coincide with the goal of maximizing the collective value by the enterprise. The design is ingenious and smart.

As the negotiable token for incentive and reward of Chia miners, ChiaArk has the following advantages:

● High precision: The minor actions and behaviors of the user can be measures.

● Transparency: How many tokens each behavior is worth is written in the algorithm which is clearly known by everyone, so the rule is completely transparent.

● Instantaneity: Because the reward is written into the algorithm, as long as this action is implemented, the token can be sent to him within the shortest time.

● Penetrability: The traditional incentive can be issued after layer-by-layer assessment and confirmation, but the token incentive based on the algorithm can be sent to the individual point to point with penetrability.

The sustainable development has always been the baseline and original intention needing to be upheld by human beings for scientific and technological exploration, so is the green mining concept advocated by Chia Ark. The goal of carbon neutrality requires the joint efforts by all mankind, and Chia Ark will make its own contribution to the realization of the this goal.

Philip Ashton-Rickardt Says the Next Generation of Medical Breakthroughs Will Need More Scientist-Entrepreneurs

Published

on

  • Boston biotech leader Philip Ashton-Rickardt believes more researchers should take their discoveries beyond the laboratory and into the real world, where they can improve lives.

Massachusetts, USA, Jul 10, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Philip Ashton-Rickardt, Managing Director and Chief Scientific Officer of BE Therapeutics, is encouraging more scientists to consider entrepreneurship as part of their career journey, arguing that the next generation of medical breakthroughs will depend not only on scientific discovery but also on the people willing to transform those discoveries into real-world treatments.

After more than two decades in academia, including professorships at the University of Chicago and Imperial College London, Ashton-Rickardt decided to leave university research and enter biotechnology. Since then, he has founded and helped lead multiple companies in developing advanced cell therapies for neurological diseases, driven by a desire to move promising science closer to patients.

“The goal was never simply to publish another paper,” said Ashton-Rickardt. “I wanted to help build therapies that could eventually improve people’s lives. That meant stepping outside my comfort zone and learning an entirely new way of thinking.”

His message comes as more researchers look beyond traditional academic careers. According to the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM), U.S. research institutions launched more than 1,100 startups based on university discoveries in 2023, reflecting growing momentum to translate scientific research into real-world products and therapies. Ashton-Rickardt believes that trend is especially important in biotechnology, where scientific discoveries often need entrepreneurial leadership to reach patients.

“An idea only becomes valuable when people work together to test it,” he said. “Science doesn’t move forward because one person has all the answers. It moves forward because people with different expertise challenge each other and build something better together.”

Ashton-Rickardt believes scientists often possess many of the qualities needed to become successful entrepreneurs, even if they don’t always recognise it. Years spent solving complex problems build resilience, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to learn from failure. Those same qualities are essential for creating companies capable of translating discoveries into therapies.

“I’ve never been afraid to leave my comfort zone,” he said. “Every major step in my career felt uncertain at the time, but those decisions opened opportunities I never could have planned.”

Growing up in a working-class family in the United Kingdom also shaped his outlook. He says learning to create his own opportunities gave him the confidence to move between academia, startups, and leadership roles across the biotechnology industry.

“We sometimes think we have to choose between being a scientist and being an entrepreneur,” Ashton-Rickardt said. “I don’t see those as competing paths. I see entrepreneurship as another way of applying science to solve important problems.”

He also believes curiosity remains one of the most valuable qualities any scientist can develop.

“The moment you think you’ve learned enough is usually the moment you stop growing,” he said. “The best scientists and the best entrepreneurs never stop asking questions.”

Looking Ahead

Ashton-Rickardt hopes more scientists will see entrepreneurship as a natural extension of research rather than a departure from it. While publishing discoveries remains an important part of scientific progress, he believes researchers should also think about how those discoveries can become products, therapies, and technologies that improve people’s lives.

“If you have an idea that could genuinely make a difference, don’t assume someone else will take it forward,” Ashton-Rickardt said. “Stay curious, keep asking questions, and don’t be afraid to build something new.”

About Philip Ashton-Rickardt

Philip Ashton-Rickardt is the Managing Director and Chief Scientific Officer of BE Therapeutics. A molecular immunologist by training, he earned his PhD from the University of Edinburgh before completing postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After distinguished academic careers at the University of Chicago and Imperial College London, he transitioned into biotechnology entrepreneurship, founding and leading multiple companies focused on developing innovative cell therapies for neurological and immune-related diseases. He has also held leadership roles at Sigilon Therapeutics, Flagship Pioneering, and Halyard Therapeutics. Today, his work focuses on advancing engineered cell therapies that have the potential to improve the treatment of neurological disorders while helping bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real-world patient care.

Vantage Vascular Selected for National RESORB Knee test Brooklyn NY and Fair Lawn NJ

Published

on

Vantage Vascular is one of just over 10 U.S. practices chosen to participate in the landmark RESORB clinical test for knee osteoarthritis pain.

Brooklyn, NY, United States, 10th Jul 2026 – Vantage Vascular, an outpatient vascular and interventional radiology practice serving patients across New York and New Jersey, has been selected as one of just over 10 leading U.S. clinical sites chosen to participate in the RESORB clinical test, a landmark national study evaluating a breakthrough, non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain. 

Being named a RESORB test site is not automatic. NEXTBIOMEDICAL, the study sponsor, specifically sought out practices with the clinical expertise, imaging capabilities, and patient-first infrastructure to effectively conduct a pivotal FDA test. 

RESORB (Randomized Controlled Study Evaluating Genicular Artery Embolization Against Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Knee Injection for Osteoarthritic Knee Pain) is a pivotal, FDA-approved clinical test comparing genicular artery embolization (GAE) using an investigational device called Nexsphere F to a standard corticosteroid knee injection. The test is enrolling approximately 126 patients across more than 10 U.S. sites and is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT06872567.

Genicular artery embolization is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure in which board-certified interventional radiologists use image guidance to deliver tiny particles into blood vessels feeding the inflamed tissues of the knee.

Nexsphere F is a novel, fast-resorbable microsphere technology. Unlike permanent embolic agents, Nexsphere F microspheres dissolve naturally within 2 to 6 hours after the procedure.

Term blockage of blood flow. The device has already received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, CMS IDE Category B approval (meaning Medicare covers the procedure during the test), and CE-MDD certification in Europe, where it has been used in thousands of procedures with a strong safety record.

Why Being a Selected test Site Matters for Patients

Clinical test site selection for an FDA pivotal study is highly competitive. Sponsors identify practices based on physician expertise, procedural volume, imaging infrastructure, and the ability to safely manage research protocols. 

For patients, what this means in practice is significant: Vantage Vascular is offering access to a treatment not yet available anywhere outside of these select test sites in the United States. If you have knee osteoarthritis pain that has persisted despite medications and conservative care for at least two months, and you are not currently planning knee surgery or replacement, you may be eligible to receive this FDA-monitored, cutting-edge procedure at no cost through the test.

The test’s national Principal Investigator and Chief Medical Officer for NEXTBIOMEDICAL is Dr. Ziv J. Haskal, MD, Professor of Interventional Radiology at the University of Virginia. The clinical evidence behind Nexsphere F continues to grow: a published study in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology evaluating 155 patients treated with resorbable microspheres found a 67% average reduction in pain at 6 months, with no device-related serious adverse events.

Who May Be Eligible

The RESORB test is enrolling adults who:

• Have knee osteoarthritis pain that has not responded adequately to conservative treatments for at least 2 months

• Are not currently planning knee surgery or knee replacement

• Meet the study’s eligibility criteria as reviewed by Vantage Vascular’s clinical team

If enrolled, participants are randomly assigned to receive either GAE with Nexsphere F or a corticosteroid knee injection. Those initially assigned to the corticosteroid injection have the option to receive GAE after 180 days. The test runs approximately 12 to 18 months, and participation is always voluntary.

The test is FDA-IDE and IRB-approved (IRB approval at the protocol level: October 31, 2025). During the test, the procedure is covered under CMS IDE Category B, meaning Medicare-eligible patients may have coverage for test participation.

Schedule a Consultation at Vantage Vascular

If you or someone you know has been living with chronic knee pain, now is the time to explore whether you qualify. Vantage Vascular’s team will evaluate your history, imaging, and treatment background to determine eligibility and walk you through every step of the process with the same compassionate, patient-first care the practice is known for.

Enrollment is currently open at Vantage Vascular’s Brooklyn and New Jersey locations. Call or visit the practice online to schedule a consultation.
