Solid polymer electrolytes have yet to achieve the desired ionic conductivity (>1 mS/cm) near room temperature required for many applications. This target implies the need to reduce the effective energy barriers for ion transport in polymer electrolytes to around 20 kJ/mol. In this work, we combine information extracted from existing experimental results with theoretical calculations to provide insights into ion transport in single-ion conductors (SICs) with a focus on lithium ion SICs.

- Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease with a poor outlook and significant symptoms, requiring a collaborative approach in healthcare and research for better patient outcomes.
- The Canadian National Pancreas Conference (NPC) took place in November 2023, bringing together healthcare providers and researchers to focus on enhancing the prognosis and quality of life for pancreatic cancer patients.
- The conference covered various topics, including diagnosis, palliative care, and current management strategies, with reviews of the sessions offered in relation to existing research.
The field of microbial ecology, evolution, and biodiversity (EEB) is at the leading edge of understanding how microbes shape our biosphere and influence the well-being of humankind and Earth. To that end, EEB is developing new transdisciplinary tools to analyze these ecologically critical, complex microbial communities. The American Society for Microbiology's Council on Microbial Sciences hosted a virtual retreat in 2023 to discuss the trajectory of EEB both within the Society and microbiology writ large.
