Lexar and Leica Unveil Silk-Weaving Photo Exhibit in Amsterdam

Amsterdam -- Lexar and Leica opened a photography exhibition on September 11, 2026, at Leica Gallery Amsterdam, titled Threads of Time: A Journey Through Silk and Lens.

The show documents Suzhou kesi, a traditional Chinese silk weaving craft, through the lens of Leica award-winning photographer Jing Huang. Huang's images follow Hao Naiqiang, known as Jingwei, a young kesi artist and custodian of the craft, as he works thread by thread to create intricate silk patterns.

Kesi weaving turns patience into visible art

Suzhou kesi differs from printed or embroidered textiles because artisans hand-weave each thread to build color and texture. Jingwei described the craft as one built on restraint, created within the order of warp and weft rather than through free gesture.

Lexar Unveils World's Thinnest Portable SSD at IFA 2026

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Lexar has unveiled the Muse Ultra-Slim Portable SSD, calling it the world's thinnest portable SSD, at IFA 2026 in Berlin as the company marks its 30th anniversary. The drive will launch in 512GB and 1TB capacities starting Q4 2026, with pricing and regional availability varying by market.

The Muse tapers to just 1mm at its edge

The card-like drive measures approximately 3.8mm at its thickest point, narrowing to 1mm at the edge, thanks to a precision-machined unibody metal enclosure formed from a single piece of metal. Inside, a custom ultra-thin PCB and high-density NAND stacking maximize space without sacrificing performance.

The drive attaches magnetically via Lexar's proprietary PogoPin connection and a supplied SnapLink Magnetic Cable, using a spring-loaded-pin interface and N52-grade neodymium magnets. A magnetic carry sleeve lets users mount the SSD directly to the back of compatible MagSafe iPhone models.
