Technology has driven the evolution of endourology over the past decades. Endoscopic stone surgery could benefit greatly from integration of artificial intelligence to refine diagnostics and enhance training and postoperative care. However, ethical, accessibility, and cost challenges need to be addressed to realise the full potential of artificial intelligence in this setting.

In the mental health research field, there is a need for effective and robust methodological approaches that are able to address complexity. In this article, we reassert the importance of mixed methods, an approach increasingly applied within mental health research, and examine the ongoing challenges in the field. We provide worked examples from our own research to demonstrate the diverse range of designs and benefits afforded by mixed methods approaches, along with personal reflections on barriers navigated.

Preventing short circuit hazard due to lithium (Li) dendrite formation across a separator from the anode of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) throughout operation is important; however, conventional separator materials cannot fulfil the increasing safety standards of next-generation LIBs. Thus, developing separator materials with high Li dendrite suppression ability in order to prevent short circuit is of paramount importance for realising next-generation LIBs. In this study, aluminum nitride-loaded polyethylene terephthalate (PET/AlN) composites with micro-/nanoarchitecture were synthesized using PET that was recycled from commercial waste bottles an electrospinning strategy.

Globally, freshwater environments are threatened by point source and diffuse pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Enhancing water quality and reducing microbial pollution are priorities to realise their ecosystem services potential but challenging to achieve and require creative solutions. Beavers are receiving increasing attention as ecosystem engineers, their dams benefitting aquatic ecosystems via improved biodiversity, water quality, and flow regulation.
