Researchers develop a new process to get lithium out of rocks
While we make batteries based on many different chemistries, nothing has approached the massive scale at which we can produce lithium batteries. That scale makes the economics of lithium-ion batteries hard to compete with. Even if we develop a superior battery technology, it's unclear whether we can get manufacturing costs down quickly enough to compete with the efficiency of the lithium supply chain and manufacturing.
Forecasting novel therapeutic development in biomedical research
Early identification of promising drug research topics is challenging yet crucial for the scientific community to accelerate the development of novel therapeutics. In this work, we leverage large-scale public data from the biomedical literature to extract predictive features to identify promising therapeutic research topics at an early stage. We divide the global citation graph of biomedical literature into a time series of research topics and extract topic features based on citation...
Generative AI in developing User Experience Research Point of View: A NotebookLM case study
Announce Type: new Abstract: User Experience Research (UXR) is currently undergoing a transition from traditional usability testing towards design-led and data-driven approaches, yet it faces an identity crisis due to a lack of methodological grounding in UXR and time-intensive methodologies which often lag behind product decision cycles. To address this, the UXR Point of View (PoV) framework formalises the UXR process by transitioning from raw data collection to forming an evidence-based...
From Evidence to Design: Developing an AI-Augmented UX Research Point of View for Digital Wellbeing in Emergency and Public Safety Contexts
Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates how User Experience Research (UXR) methods can be combined with AI-supported analysis to develop clearer design direction for digital wellbeing interventions targeting Emergency and Public Safety Personnel (EPSP). EPSP work in high-stress, shift-based environments where cognitive fatigue and unpredictable schedules reduce engagement with conventional wellbeing tools. Using the UXR Point-of-View (PoV) framework, this study applied an...
Developing an AI-Powered UX Research Point of View for Digital Health in A Regulatory Context: An Exemplar Case from MSM and Transgender HIV Care in Nigeria
arXiv:2605.31138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User Experience Research (UXR) in a legal and regulatory contexts presents unique challenges that require specialised approaches to protect vulnerable populations whilst generating actionable insights. Digital consultation, appointment booking, and medication delivery platforms show promise for extending care access; however, their real-world effectiveness is curtailed by an absence of theoretically grounded user experience research (UXR)...
India gained 2.1 million hectares of dry woodland in a decade, major study finds
India gained 2.1 million hectares of dry woodland in a decade, major study finds Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor India gained around 2.1 million hectares of tropical dry woodland between 2014 and 2024—an area larger than Wales—according to a major new study involving researchers from The University of Manchester's Global Development Institute. The research was published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The research found that large-scale tree planting,...
Fresh concerns emerge over impact of Labor's tax changes on medical tech
Medical technology sector raises fresh concerns with Labor’s capital gains tax overhaul Sat 6 Jun 2026 at 4:44am In short: Australia's medical technology sector says Labor's budget changes will make it harder for local startups to commercialise new products. Industry groups say planned changes to research and development tax incentives will specifically hurt the health sector where companies often take more than a decade to become profitable. What's next: Labor is pressing ahead with its...
Developing a Culturally Grounded, AI-Augmented UX Research Point of View (POV): An Exemplar Case Study from Telemedicine Dementia Care
arXiv:2605.31147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User Experience Research (UXR) Points of View (POVs) distil complex and often fragmented research evidence into actionable perspectives that guide how teams interpret user needs, frame design decisions, and align stakeholders. Although POVs are widely used in industry practice, there are few published examples that explicitly document how POVs are constructed, particularly in culturally sensitive and low-resource contexts.
Performance Variation in Deep Reinforcement Learning
Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms often suffer from low run-to-run robustness, manifesting as significant performance variation across independent runs of identically configured agents. Although this issue poses a spectrum of challenges across research and practice, relatively few studies develop methods to evaluate it; RL research instead often reports uncertainty in the estimated mean performance. In this paper, we outline the limitations of...
