	Researchers construct amorphous chloride solid electrolytes with high Li-ion conductivity A research team has successfully constructed a glassy Li-ion conduction network and developed amorphous tantalum chloride solid electrolytes (SEs) with high Li-ion conductivity.
	Understanding the security of mobile apps in Africa Researchers from CyLab-Africa and the Upanzi Network recently partnered with the mobile security provider Approov to explore the security of common financial services apps used across Africa. After surveying 224 popular financial applications, the researchers found that 95% of these Android apps exposed secrets that can be used to reveal personal and financial data.
