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.

When it comes to artificial intelligence, appearances can be deceiving. The mystery surrounding the inner workings of large language models (LLMs) stems from their vast size, complex training methods, hard-to-predict behaviors, and elusive interpretability.When it comes to artificial intelligence, appearances can be deceiving.
