Why TESSAN's 140W Travel Adapter Is the Only Charger You'll Ever Need Abroad
LAS VEGAS, NV / / May 26, 2025 / In a significant move toward sustainability and innovation in consumer electronics, TESSAN today announced the official launch of its 140W Universal Travel Adapter, a compact, high-speed charging solution designed for global travelers and remote professionals. The new product release coincides with the introduction of the company's new global initiative, "Charging the Future," which focuses on environmental responsibility through tree planting. As part of the campaign, TESSAN has pledged to plant one tree for every TESSAN 140W Universal Travel Adapter sold, reinforcing its commitment to corporate social responsibility and helping to address the environmental impact of modern travel and technology consumption. Product Innovation: Designed for Global Lifestyles TESSAN has put out the 140W Universal Travel Adapter which is of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology design that brings to the table higher efficiency in a smaller and lighter package. We developed this product in response to the increasing want for compact charging solutions which plug in to charge a variety of today's electronic devices without the use of many converters or large brick style adapters. Key specifications include: 140W fast-charging capability, sufficient to power laptops, tablets, and smartphones simultaneously 3 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A port, and 1 universal AC outlet, allowing users to charge up to five devices at once Compatibility with over 200 countries, including US, UK, EU, and AU plug types Dual 10A auto-resetting fuses, enhancing safety through built-in overcurrent protection The design is for fast charging of large devices like the MacBook Pro, also at home for your phone, camera, and wireless headphones. We have designed this adapter with power and portability in mind said TESSAN's Head of Product Development. It is small enough to fit in a travel bag, also very powerful as a single charging solution for professionals out there. Sustainability through Innovation The release of the product is connected to TESSAN Charging the Future initiative which we have put in as a new corporate responsibility program that focuses on environmental repair. For every 140W Universal Travel Adapter we sell we will put a tree in the ground in areas which are affected by deforestation. This we are doing through partnerships with environmental groups which also will be the initial base for our reforestation projects in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. At present the initiative is in response to a growing trend of interest from the tech community in sustainability issues. From a 2024 report by Deloitte we see that 60% of global customers report a preference for doing business with eco friendly brands. TESSAN's program which is put forth in that light includes sustainability into the fabric of the product experience. Today's consumers are looking for more than performance, they are looking for meaning, said TESSAN's Corporate Sustainability Officer. We see each of our products as a chance to make a difference.

The TESSAN 140W Universal Travel Adapter is designed to meet these modern demands, offering flexibility across multiple plug types and fast-charging compatibility with high-performance electronics. Unlike traditional adapters, which often provide limited wattage or require multiple devices for different ports, this product centralizes power delivery in a single, durable form factor. Its auto-resetting fuse system adds an extra layer of protection and convenience, eliminating the need for manual fuse replacements after power surges. Its compact and tough design which in turn is a reliable choice for professionals, students, and frequent fliers that require high power in a small package. Also the product's long life contributes to the aim of reducing e-waste which is a main element of TESSAN's sustainability plan. Industry Outlook and Corporate Vision The release of the 140W adapter sees TESSAN at the front of a trend which is playing out in the tech industry for companies to adopt sustainable innovation. It is reported that as environmental issues grow in importance to the consumer base which in turn influences purchase decisions, we will see the introduction of eco-friendly practices as a key differentiator between competitors. TESSAN's Charge into the Future campaign is a piece of a larger strategy which sees the company grow in step with global actions to fight climate change, improve biodiversity, and reduce waste. Our CEO at TESSAN reports that it is our mission to bring engineering excellence and environmental accountability together. Also we have put out the 140W adapter which is the first in what we expect to be a large scale of products based on this vision.

China-born scientist's magnet made without rare earth element could now help US
An innovation that came into existence years ago could now help the United States tackle China's dominance in a key sector. A scientist working at the University of Minnesota lab years ago developed the world's first iron nitride magnet, a revolutionary technology forged from iron and nitrogen without using rare earth elements. As of now, China dominates rare earth exports with 92% of global refining. The world's largest exporter of rare earth minerals is currently restricting exports to the United a key role in almost everything from EV motors to wind turbines and MRI machines, rare earth magnets now have an alternative. Niron Magnetics, the spin-off created by University of Minnesota materials scientist Jian-Ping Wang, is offering rare earth-free permanent magnets. The company claims these are useful for consumer electronics and the motor powering industry. Permanent magnets are the invisible force that converts electricity to motion in your daily devices. "We produce the world's only high performance, rare-earth-free permanent magnets. Our Iron Nitride magnet technology and world-leading magnetics expertise enhance the applications that use magnets to help revolutionize your industry," said the company in a statement. The China-born scientist's innovation is now expected to help the United States overcome China's dominance in the supply of rare earth minerals. Wang earned his PhD at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and spent decades in studying magnetism. The raw materials for Niron's magnets are globally abundant and 100% domestically sourced, creating a permanently secure supply chain. The company also claims that their magnets offer advanced performance as Iron Nitride has the greatest flux of any material known and unlocks fundamental advantages in device design. Niron maintains that their streamlined process scales to meet demand using equipment proven in the industry, from nanoparticles to finished magnets. At a time when the Asian giant is tightening export controls on critical minerals like samarium and dysprosium, Niron's innovation promises a key alternative. Niron's magnets excel under 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit), high-temperature applications still rely on China-controlled alloys. Even with its first Minnesota factory breaking ground this year, scaling production to match soaring global demand, projected to triple by 2035, will test limits. The company claims that innovators could achieve next-generation device performance with Iron Nitride magnets. "More efficient motors. Better temperature stability. These are the permanent magnets reshaping tomorrow's technologies, and helping you achieve your design goals today," said the company in the statement. Niron's proprietary Clean Earth Magnet technology, based on Iron Nitride, enables magnets that possess inherently high magnetization. These are expected to enable a revolution in the design of new electric motors and generators. "We have got overwhelming interest from customers in our technology, especially over the last several years as the trade tensions between China and the U.S. have increased, and as China has used the rare earth technology as a bargaining chip in response to the US restricting semiconductor technology," said Jonathan Rowntree, CEO of Niron Magnetics.
