The sulfur redox mechanism in solid-state lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries remains unclear, as it has been reported to vary under different operating conditions due to sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we investigate sulfur reactions in solid-state batteries using solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivities to mitigate kinetic limitations. [...]

A missense variant in SLC1A3, which results in a proline to arginine substitution in the glial excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1), causes a severe form of episodic ataxia type 6, characterized by recurrent attacks of ataxia and epilepsy. EAATs are dual function transport proteins, and the P290R variant reduces secondary active glutamate transport rates, while enhancing the anion channel activity. [...]
