Because machine-learning models can give false predictions, researchers often equip them with the ability to tell a user how confident they are about a certain decision. This is especially important in high-stake settings, such as when models are used to help identify disease in medical images or filter job applications.Because machine-learning models can give false predictions, researchers often equip them with the ability to tell a user how confident they are about a certain decision.

The element lithium is used widely in batteries because it results in long-lasting, stable energy storage. However, it’s a finite resource, so researchers are hard at work trying to identify alternate materials to use in battery production. Using the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan, a team from McGill University has recently come up with a way to replace most of the lithium in batteries with sodium.The element lithium is used widely in batteries because it results in long-lasting, stable energy storage.
