The global lithium-ion battery recycling capacity needs to increase by a factor of 50 in the next decade to meet the projected adoption of electric vehicles. During this expansion of recycling capacity, it is unclear which technologies are most appropriate to reduce costs and environmental impacts. Here, we describe the current and future recycling capacity situation and summarize methods for quantifying costs and environmental impacts of battery recycling methods with a focus on cathode active materials.

The present study aimed to explore the effect of resveratrol on the secretion of exosomes and the role of resveratrol-induced exosomes in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Methods: The number and contents of exosomes induced by resveratrol were determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis and high-throughput sequencing in Huh7 cells, respectively.
Purpose: There is compelling evidence that long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of lncRNA XXYLT1 antisense-2 (XXYLT1-AS2) in HCC progression.
Methods: Real-time PCR was used to assess the levels of XXYLT1-AS2 in plasma from HCC and normal patients.

In the process of developing the industrial control SAMA logic diagram commonly used in the industrial process control system, there are some problems, that is, the size of logic diagram elements is small, the shape is various, similar element recognition is easily confused, and the detection accuracy is low. In this study, the faster R-CNN network has been improved. The original VGG16 network has been replaced by the ResNet101 network, and the residual value module was introduced to ensure the detailed features of the deep network.

Although the dropwise condensation of steam on thin hydrophobic coatings can enhance condensation heat transfer by 1000%, these coatings easily delaminate. Designing interfaces with high adhesion while maintaining a nanoscale coating thickness is key to overcoming this challenge.
