Many technology startups assume that if they want global success, they need global customers from the very beginning.
New research suggests the opposite may be true.
Startups can improve their chances of succeeding in foreign markets when they first focus on learning from users closer to home.
A major new review led by Swansea University has highlighted growing evidence that diet in the early years of life may shape how well the brain develops, with effects that can still be seen in adolescence.
Diagnosis, prediction, monitoring, and analysis

EULAR – The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology – is actively integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its guidelines and research, recognising the potential to enhance diagnosis, monitoring, and management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) through advanced imaging analysis. Five abstracts presented on 5th June at the EULAR 2026 annual Congress in London show how AI and data-driven algorithms can support in rheumatology.
Li-rich Mn-based oxide (LRMO) cathodes represent promising candidates for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). Nonetheless, irreversible oxygen release and sluggish transport kinetics result in faded voltage and degraded cycling stability, severely impeding their practical applications in ASSLBs. Herein, a high-quality artificial interface layer was constructed on the LRMO surface via a facile sol–gel method followed by thermal treatment, yielding a Li3ScF6 protective layer comprising a Li3ScF6 surface coating region and a subsurface Sc doping region. Specifically, Li3ScF6 surface coating effectively suppresses continuous interfacial side reactions between the cathode and solid electrolyte, thereby improving interfacial transport kinetics; the strong Sc–O bond stabilizes the lattice oxygen framework and inhibits oxygen release, thereby enhancing the reversibility of the oxygen redox reaction. Consequently, the ASSLBs with the modified LRMO cathode exhibit remarkable fast-charging capability (136.8 mAh g−1 at 1.0 C) and excellent capacity retention (83.9% after 500 cycles at 0.3 C). In addition, the ASSLBs achieve outstanding long-term cycling stability at a high areal capacity of 4.17 mAh cm−2, retaining 81.8% of its capacity after 300 cycles at 60 °C. This study offers new insights into the rational design of high-capacity and high-voltage LRMO cathode materials for high-energy-density ASSLBs.
