Calculations of X-ray wave propagation in large objects are needed for modeling diffractive X-ray optics and for optimization-based approaches to image reconstruction for objects that extend beyond the depth of focus. We describe three methods for calculating wave propagation with large arrays on parallel computing systems with distributed memory: (1) a full-array Fresnel multislice approach, (2) a tiling-based short-distance Fresnel multislice approach, and (3) a finite difference approach. We find that the first approach suffers from internode communication delays when the transverse array size becomes large, while the second and third approaches have similar scaling to large array size problems (with the second approach offering about three times the compute speed).

Oxygen redox at high voltage has emerged as a transformative paradigm for high-energy battery cathodes such as layered transition-metal oxides by offering extra capacity beyond conventional transition-metal redox. However, these cathodes suffer from voltage hysteresis, voltage fade and capacity drop upon cycling. Single-crystalline cathodes have recently shown some improvements, but these challenges remain. Here we reveal the fundamental origin of oxygen redox instability to be from the domain boundaries that are present in single-crystalline cathode particles. By investigating single-crystalline cathodes with different domain boundaries structures, we show that the elimination of domain boundaries enhances the reversible lattice oxygen redox while inhibiting the irreversible oxygen release. This leads to significantly suppressed structural degradation and improved mechanical integrity during battery cycling and abuse heating. The robust oxygen redox enabled through domain boundary control provides practical opportunities towards high-energy, long-cycling, safe batteries.

We herein present an overview of the upcoming 5^th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours focussing on lymphoid neoplasms. Myeloid and histiocytic neoplasms will be presented in a separate accompanying article. Besides listing the entities of the classification, we highlight and explain changes from the revised 4^th edition. These include reorganization of entities by a hierarchical system as is adopted throughout the 5^th edition of the WHO classification of tumours of all organ systems, modification of nomenclature for some entities, revision of diagnostic criteria or subtypes, deletion of certain entities, and introduction of new entities, as well as inclusion of tumour-like lesions, mesenchymal lesions specific to lymph node and spleen, and germline predisposition syndromes associated with the lymphoid neoplasms.
