They currently face a key safety challenge, particularly concerning mechanical abuse that could trigger thermal runaway, causing harm to individuals. Here, we report on Kevlar-fabric-based LIBs that can afford high impact tolerance while offering excellent electrochemical performance comparable to metal-foil-based cells.

Article Synopsis
- Sodium selenium (Na-Se) batteries show potential for high energy storage but struggle with issues like the shuttling effect and slow reaction rates of selenium cathodes.
- Improving selenium's surface interactions and catalytic efficiency is crucial for enhancing battery performance.
- The introduction of boron and defect co-doped MXene (BD-MXene) significantly facilitates electron distribution and enhances the chemical adsorption, resulting in faster electrochemical reactions and improved battery stability and performance.
Article Synopsis
- Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease that causes blood vessel problems and can lead to serious kidney damage known as nephropathy.
- Researchers tested a Tyk2 inhibitor, BMS-986202, on mice with APS nephropathy to assess its effects on the disease.
- The study found that Tyk2 inhibition not only improved kidney function and reversed harmful changes in the kidneys, but also reduced the type I interferon (IFN) signature associated with the disease, indicating a potential new treatment approach for APS nephropathy.
