I agree. If number of cycles are reported, all the cell's specifications must be reorted too.

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving
More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.
We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪

Original article: Li, AM., Zavalij, P.Y., Omenya, F. et al. Salt-in-presalt electrolyte solutions for high-potential non-aqueous sodium metal batteries. Nat. Nanotechnol. 20, 388–396 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-024-01848-2
Abstract
Room-temperature non-aqueous sodium metal batteries are viable candidates for cost-effective and safe electrochemical energy storage. However, they show low specific energy and poor cycle life as the use of conventional organic-based non-aqueous electrolyte solutions enables the formation of interphases that cannot prevent degradations at the positive and negative electrodes. Here, to promote the formation of inorganic NaF-rich interphases on both negative and positive electrodes, we propose the salt-in-presalt (SIPS) electrolyte formulation strategy. In SIPS, sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI) salt is dissolved in the liquid precursor of the sodium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NaTFSI) salt, that is, N,N-dimethyltrifluoromethane-sulfonamide, called PreTFSI. The prepared 0.5 M NaFSI in PreTFSI (SIPS5) electrolyte solution shows an electrochemical stability up to 6.7 V versus Na|Na+ and enables a Na stripping/plating average Coulombic efficiency of 99.7% at 2.0 mA cm−2 and 4.0 mAh cm−2 in Na||Al cell configuration. By testing SIPS5 in Na metal and ‘anode-less’ coin and pouch cell configurations using NaNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 or sulfurized polyacrylonitrile as positive electrode active materials, we demonstrate the ability of the SIPS strategy to deliver improved specific discharge capacity and capacity retentions at high cell potentials and moderate applied specific currents for cell cycle life up to 1,000 cycles.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.
In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”….
