New YA Adventure Novel Brings Real Antarctic Science—and Survival—to Young Readers
Century House Publications launches Adventure: Antarctica!, a grounded coming-of-age story that blends real research with high-stakes survival on the Ice.
Seattle, Washington, United States, 9th Feb 2026 – Educator and author Jeff Hendricks is pleased to announce the release of Adventure: Antarctica!, a gripping new Young Adult Adventure novel now available on Amazon. Blending real-world Antarctic science with an emotionally driven survival story, the novel places readers in one of the most extreme environments on Earth and asks what it truly takes to grow up when everything goes wrong.
The story follows Danny Gage, a hesitant but determined high school senior who never planned on traveling to Antarctica. When he joins a science research team as an intern, what begins as an unexpected opportunity quickly becomes a life-changing test. Working alongside fellow intern Yura Tanaka and biochemistry graduate student Tatyana Tarasova, Danny embarks on a field expedition that turns dangerous when a routine research trip escalates into a fight for survival.
Set against the harsh and unforgiving Antarctic landscape, Adventure: Antarctica! explores themes of teamwork, responsibility, and courage. As Danny faces physical danger and personal doubt, the frozen continent becomes more than a backdrop—it shapes every decision the characters must make.
Real Science, Real Challenges
A defining feature of Adventure: Antarctica! is its commitment to scientific accuracy. The novel portrays authentic field research, showing how teams collect data, protect fragile environments, and confront real-world issues such as climate change.

This grounded approach invites readers to appreciate both the excitement of exploration and the importance of scientific work. The result is a fast-paced adventure that also offers meaningful insight into how science is practiced in extreme conditions.
Themes of Growth and Discovery
Beyond the action, Adventure: Antarctica! delivers emotional depth through Danny’s personal journey. His uncertainty, fear, and determination reflect the real struggles many teens face as they search for direction and confidence. Moments of reflection balance the novel’s tension, showing how growth often happens far from comfort and familiarity.
The story also captures the wonder of scientific discovery. Each stage of the expedition introduces readers to the tools, questions, and problem-solving skills used by real research teams. This makes the novel a strong example of STEM-focused fiction, appealing to general readers as well as educators, librarians, and parents seeking stories that inspire curiosity.

“I wrote Adventure: Antarctica! to show that science isn’t just about facts—it’s about courage, curiosity, and discovery. Antarctica felt like the perfect place to explore that truth.”
High-Stakes Survival and Environmental Awareness
As the expedition unfolds, Danny and his team must rely on their training, equipment, and growing trust in one another to survive a powerful storm far from help. These moments of danger sharpen the novel’s pace while reinforcing themes of environmental responsibility and resilience.
Through survival and sacrifice, Danny begins to understand who he is becoming. This balance of action and meaning makes Adventure: Antarctica! a compelling addition to the Young Adult Adventure genre.
Adventure: Antarctica! is available now on Amazon in the following formats:

Airwheel Announces Expanded Global Deployment of AI-Enabled Rideable Smart Electric Cabin Suitcase
Brussels, Belgium – Airwheel recently announced the expanded global deployment of its AI-enabled rideable electric cabin suitcase, as the company responds to rising international travel volumes and growing demand for intelligent short-distance mobility solutions in airports, rail terminals, and large transportation venues worldwide. A new product category is rapidly entering the mainstream—one that combines hardware innovation, intelligent control systems, and a redefinition of travel behavior. At the forefront of this shift is Airwheel rideable electric suitcase.
Within this emerging category, Airwheel has distinguished itself through long-term technological accumulation and a systematically built global presence, increasingly positioning the company as a high-potential technology opportunity for 2026. Airwheel has secured 600+ patents worldwide, spanning motion control algorithms, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and structural engineering, all of which have been successfully industrialized and deployed at scale in real-world products.

In environments such as airports, high-speed rail stations, and large venues, users can ride directly through terminals, significantly reducing physical strain while gaining measurable efficiency and experiential advantages. This structural upgrade in user experience is allowing electric luggage to move beyond novelty and toward scalable, repeatable adoption.
Product Portfolio: Scalable Solutions Across Travel Scenarios
Airwheel’s flagship carry-on-compliant model, the SE3S Series features a removable lithium battery meeting airline carry-on regulations, resolving one of the biggest barriers to smart luggage adoption. With a top speed of 13 km/h, 110 kg load capacity, patented stability architecture, and Apple Find My integration, SE3S delivers a rare combination of compliance, performance, and ecosystem-level intelligence. The series has achieved strong global adoption, high repeat purchase rates, and billions of views across social media, becoming a phenomenon-level product in smart travel.
Designed for children, the SQ3S Series integrates rideable, check-in-ready, and companion-friendly use into a single intelligent product. Optimized for children’s body dynamics and behavior patterns, it enhances safety, simplifies control, and transforms children from passive followers into active participants—while significantly reducing parental travel stress.
Targeting family and companion travel, the SE3T Series is a 24-inch large-capacity rideable luggage solution featuring a 52 cm extended wheelbase, optimized center of gravity, dual-rider support, and 48-liter internal capacity. It seamlessly integrates riding, pulling, and storage modes, positioning luggage as a proactive mobility tool for longer journeys and family travel.
Beyond Smart Suitcase: Toward AI-Enabled Personal Mobility
For Airwheel, rideable smart electric cabin suitcase represents only the entry point. The company is extending its capabilities from hardware manufacturing into AI-driven motion control, multi-sensor perception, edge computing, and human–machine interaction, laying the groundwork for consumer-grade personal mobility robots.

AI-Powered Energy Independence- Ktech to Showcase Energy Storage and AI Management Solutions at Intersolar 2026
Industry Pioneer Debuts Six Inverters + Battery System to Deliver 24-Hour Backup, Enhance Energy Efficiency
Wuxi, China, 9th Feb 2026 — Ktech, a global pioneer in integrated energy solutions of Wuxi Ktech New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., is set to redefine residential energy resilience at Intersolar & Energy Storage North America 2026 (February 18-20, San Diego Convention Center, Booth #3615). The company will launch six cutting-edge inverters and a high-performance battery system—addressing North America’s urgent grid challenges, from California’s wildfire blackouts to Texas’ winter storm failures. As the renewable energy transition accelerates (with residential solar adoption projected to grow 15% annually through 2030), Ktech’s “Resources Integrated & Value Appreciated” ecosystem empowers homeowners to take control of their energy future amid escalating grid unreliability.
“Today’s North American homeowners face a defining choice: remain vulnerable to costly outages and rising electricity rates, or embrace energy independence,” said Jim Chen, Ktech’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our new lineup turns homes into self-sufficient hubs—optimizing monthly energy usage and costs, providing 24 hours of backup power during blackouts, and enabling participation in VPP—all while meeting UL safety standards. In an era where 1 in 3 U.S. households experienced a grid outage last year, this isn’t just innovation—it’s essential protection.”
Against a backdrop of extreme weather and aging infrastructure, Ktech’s solutions fill a critical gap: utilities struggle to balance surging renewable demand with outdated grids, leaving millions exposed. The brand’s technology delivers decentralized resilience, reducing strain on centralized systems while giving users enhanced control—aligning with the industry’s shift toward “consumer-centric energy ecosystems.”
A Solution for Every Residential Need
Ktech’s exhibit features tailored inverters and a seamless battery system, designed to scale with diverse lifestyles:
The KE-N Series Split Phase Hybrid Inverters (5-12kW) set a new standard for hybrid performance, with 99% MPPT efficiency and 2x surge capacity for heavy loads. Integrated AFCI/RSD safety and VPP compatibility let homeowners benefit from participation in utility demand response programs. Paired with smart home integration, users monitor energy flows and auto-activate backup via a mobile app—core to Ktech’s AI energy management approach.
For larger homes and light commercial use, the Kayis Series High Voltage Three-Phase Hybrid Inverters (30-60kW) offer 150V low-voltage ride-through and generator integration. Supporting 10 parallel units, it scales with growing energy needs (e.g., EV charging, home offices) and stabilizes grids via reactive power compensation—ideal for utilities adopting distributed resources.
Off-grid users benefit from the KE-F Series (5-12kW) and Kayis Series Split Phase Off-Grid Inverters (5-16kW). The KE-F’s dual MPPT trackers and IP66 rating (operating from -40 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius） power remote cabins/farms reliably. The 16KW Kayis Series’ 10ms transfer switch and Smart Load prioritization ensure life-sustaining devices (medical equipment, refrigeration) stay online—even with limited battery.
All inverters pair with Ktech’s Residential Battery System (5-20kWh), featuring lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry, 95% round-trip efficiency, and a 10-year warranty. Its integrated BMS monitors cell health, while scalability lets homeowners start small (5kWh for daily load shifting) and expand to 20kWh for 24+ hours of backup—solving the “range anxiety” of energy storage.
Built for North America, Backed by Local Support
Engineered for regional compatibility, all models hold UL 1741, Rule 21, and UL 991 certifications, with 120/240V split-phase architecture eliminating costly transformers. Ktech boasts a well-established local after-sales service network and strategically located warehousing facilities across North America, ensuring timely technical support, rapid spare parts delivery, and efficient logistics for installers and homeowners alike.“Our inverters work with 95% of North American modules and batteries,” noted Frank Zhang, the Director of Product Development. “We’ve invested in local testing to ensure safety and performance, removing adoption barriers.”
Ktech will announce expanded North American support at the show: regional training centers, 24/7 NABCEP-certified technical support, and an installer portal with troubleshooting tools. This commitment ensures seamless deployment and long-term reliability—key to user trust in the energy storage space.
AI-Powered Energy Management
The exhibit highlights the iHEMS Intelligent Home Energy Management System, Ktech’s AI-driven platform that learns household patterns. It optimizes battery charging (low-demand/high-solar periods) and discharging (peak-price hours), supporting potential savings and grid independence. As AI becomes central to energy efficiency (industry forecasts predict 70% of residential storage will include AI by 2028), iHEMS positions Ktech at the forefront of smart, sustainable energy.
“Intersolar North America is where the future of energy is built,” said Brian Chen, Ktech’s CEO. “Our 2026 lineup isn’t just products—it’s a vision: energy independence, outage protection, and AI-powered savings for every home. The exhibition at Booth #3615 will showcase Ktech’s approach to residential energy generation, storage, and use across North America.”
