Suppressing strain propagation in ultrahigh-Ni cathodes during fast charging via epitaxial entropy-assisted coating
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
Layered Ni-rich oxide cathodes are susceptible to challenges with surface reconstruction and strain propagation, limiting their cyclability. The authors propose a solution involving oriented attachment-driven reactions, utilizing Wadsley–Roth nanocrystals and layered oxide to induce an epitaxial entropy-assisted coating, effectively addressing these issues.

Attitude Bias at Procrastination’s Root
Posted by Cecile G. Tamura in category: futurism
Do I want to do this now?
Summary: New research delves into how valence weighting bias—people’s tendency to prioritize negative or positive attitudes—plays a crucial role in procrastination. By studying individuals’ responses to tasks like tax filing and academic research participation, the researchers found a strong link between a negative-leaning attitude and the tendency to delay tasks.
Additionally, interventions that balanced participants’ valence weighting bias showed promise in reducing procrastination, suggesting that this psychological bias might be a key target for improving decision-making and task completion. This insight opens new avenues for addressing procrastination by adjusting how individuals weigh positive and negative signals when faced with decisions.

What Exactly Do Large Language Models Really Understand?
Posted by Gemechu Taye in category: futurism
Ever since these models appeared, researchers and philosophers have debated whether they are complex ‘stochastic parrots’ or whether they are indeed capable of understanding and will eventually be smarter than us.
