NASICON solid electrolytes: Relative density links strength and conductivity
Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku UniversityA 2024 viewpoint led by researchers at Tohoku University’s AIMR reveals a strong correlation between hardness and ionic conductivity in NASICON-type solid electrolytes. By analyzing literature data, they identified relative density as a key factor, offering a practical strategy to enhance both properties for safer, high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityClinical trials use precision medicine to test treatments for severe asthma
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoAsthma severity can be affected by multiple inflammatory pathways, which make it challenging to treat with a “one size fits all” approach. This is why researchers started pursuing precision medicine for asthma – distinguishing disease types based on specific biological signs (called biomarkers) and matching treatments to the patient’s asthma type.
New tool using AI for heart failure incorporates views of patients, clinicians and other stakeholders in three different continents
European Society of CardiologyTrustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Personalised Risk Assessment, or AI4HF, is a 4-year project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Framework
AI4HF aims to co-design, develop and evaluate the first trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) tool for personalising the care and management of patients with heart failure.
The project brings together patients, clinicians and other stakeholders from Europe, South America and Africa with regular workshops to allow input from all
The workshops have produced many ideas for refining AI for heart failure treatment, including increasing health and digital literacy, personalised recommendations on improving lifestyle, and social components such as involvement of carers. A new round of workshops is ongoing
