A new opinion paper argues that proprioception should be redefined beyond a fixed biological feedback loop. The authors propose that proprioception should be better understood as a dynamic, interpretable interface that can be edited, augmented, and potentially surpassed through engineered signals—an idea that could reshape rehabilitation strategies and open new directions for performance enhancement in elite athletes.

Electric vehicles (EVs) represent the next-generation technology aimed at transport decarbonization. Unfortunately, their limited lifespan leaves behind the problem of retired EV battery management. Recently, a Chonnam National University scientist has shed light on the attitude of consumers towards the reuse of retired EV batteries as energy storage systems. They suggest that consumer trust in companies, environmental identity, and innovativeness affects acceptance via perceived risks and benefits and affective responses.
