Autoregressive decoding with LLMs is primarily bottlenecked by GPU memory bandwidth, especially in edge-computing settings. While quantization is essential for mitigating this bottleneck, most existing methods treat inference as a uniform process and fail to account for the asymmetry between the compute-bound prefill stage and the memory-bound decoding stage.

Digital Annealing (DA) is an enhancement of the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, achieved through a paralleltrial update scheme that boosts the flip acceptance rate, and a dynamic escape mechanism that helps overcome narrow energy barriers. In each parallel-trial iteration of the DA algorithm, every variable of the problem is independently proposed ("tried") for a flip. [...]

Three-electrode (3E) configurations, which ideally leverage an inert reference electrode (RE) as a passive probe, are important for separating electrode-specific electrochemical processes in solid-state batteries (SSB). Here, by systematically evaluating different embedded RE configurations ($Li^+$/$Li$ wire, $AuLi$/$AuLi_3$ mesh, and $In$/$InLi$ mesh) in sulfide-based SSB, we show that practical RE can diverge substantially from this ideal and suggest criteria for robust validation of RE configurations.

Sulfidic solid electrolytes pose a promising material class for enabling solid-state batteries. While their defect chemistry and ion transport have been studied extensively, thermal transport and its interplay with ion dynamics remain poorly understood, despite the exceptionally low thermal conductivities of these materials. [...]

Solid-state batteries are a promising next-generation energy storage technology, offering thepotential for enhanced safety and performance compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.Because solid-state batteries rely on critical materials, establishing effective recycling strategiesis essential to mitigate resource constraints and support the sustainable development of thistechnology. However, recycling studies on solid-state batteries remain scarce and are largelylimited to proof-of-concept experiments rather than recovery of materials from spent battery cells.In particular, the influence of practical cell degradation on the recyclability and functional propertiesof recycled solid electrolytes remains poorly understood.

Lithium halide solid electrolytes have recently attracted renewed attention due to their electrochemical stability, mechanical compliance, and tunable ionic transport properties. Most lithium halides reported as fast-ion conductors are based on close-packed anion frameworks, in which cubic or hexagonal packing governs lithium sublattice connectivity. [...]
