A survey on multilingual large language models: corpora, alignment, and bias
Higher Education PressMultilingual Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in advancing multilingual natural language processing, enabling effective knowledge transfer from high-resource to low-resource languages. Despite their achievements, MLLMs still face numerous issues and challenges, which can be categorized into three main aspects: corpora, alignment, and bias.

Flies and the hidden drivers of cholera
University of the WitwatersrandNew modelling research from African biostatisticians shows that flies play a far more important role in spreading cholera than previously recognised. While cholera is traditionally associated with contaminated water, the study demonstrates that flies can mechanically transmit the cholera-causing bacterium from contaminated environments to human food, making outbreaks faster and more unpredictable.
The models show that when fly-related transmission factors are high, even small contamination events can trigger explosive outbreaks, likened to sparks igniting dry grass. The findings come as Africa faces its worst cholera outbreak in 25 years, with 300,000 confirmed and suspected cases reported across 20 countries in 2025.
The research also reinforces the importance of vaccination, showing that high coverage can rapidly reduce transmission even before long-term water and sanitation improvements take effect.

Achieving impact-buffered compressible batteries through 3D printing-assisted design of negative Poisson's ratio structural electrodes
KeAi Communications Co., Ltd.This study presents a metamaterial-inspired design to develop negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) structural electrodes using a directional freezing 3D printing-assisted strategy. This approach incorporates both macroscopic NPR structures and microscopic directional porous structures, which enhances ion transport, improves compressibility and provides impact resistance, effectively preventing package bulges during compression. Consequently, the electrodes demonstrate a high 50% compressible deformation and recover their original state even after 50 cycles of 25% compression. The 3D-printed lithium iron phosphate cathodes deliver a high average specific capacity of 153 mAh/g over 100 cycles and exhibit outstanding rate capability. Furthermore, the assembled full cell maintains both excellent compressibility and impact-buffered resistance, highlighting its potential applications. This innovative design of NPR metamaterial-structured electrodes provides a universal platform for developing the next generation of impact-buffered, compressible structural batteries.
