The open-label Part C data demonstrate four important findings: first, notable additional benefit was observed with an added reduction in MADRSscore leading to an average 13-point reduction from baseline at Week 52 and extended out to 1 year for participants who were randomized to the 25 mg arm and received an additional dosein Part C; second, for participants in the Placebo arm who received their first dose of COMP360 25 mg in Part C, these findings further reinforce that a single dose of 25 mg has the potential to produce rapid onset, meaningful effect and durabi
New ABB and BCG Report Highlights Growing Role of Direct Current Technologies in Future Power Systems9.9.2026 12:42:00 EEST | Press release
ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report makes the case that direct current (DC) technology is moving from the periphery to the center of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure – and that the decisions made by business leaders and policymakers in the next two to three years will determine who shapes that transition and who inherits it. The future of power distribution is not an either-or choice between alternating current (AC) and direct current, but a hybrid system that combines the strengths of both technologies. While AC will remain the backbone of most transmission and regional distribution networks, DC is expected to play an increasingly important role within facilities where many major energy sources and loads already operate natively on direct current. The fastest-growing technologies, including sola
