Advanced Science, EarlyView.A self‐reinforcement strategy is reported for the fabrication of bamboo plastics utilizing ethanol to induce the supramolecular network reconstruction of cellulose and polyacrylamide molecules. These bamboo plastics exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability, resistance to low temperatures, and controllable shapeability.

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Dealing with construction and demolition waste abroad: lessons for Hong Kong [Part I] [PDF]
, 2002 Few issues in construction give rise to more controversy than dealing with construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The problem is the same the world over. In Hong Kong it has been exacerbated by conflicting definitions in governing primary and secondary

Recycled Piezoelectric Materials with Competitive Second‐Life Functional Properties
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The essential piezoelectric ceramics with heavy ecological footprints are not sufficiently recycled. This work demonstrates the feasibility of recycling different types of piezoelectric ceramics using different binders, where the terpolymer binder with relatively large permittivity facilitated superior retention of properties after recycling, promoting

The Potential of Deconstruction in Buffalo, New York [PDF]
, 2007 Building deconstruction is not a novel idea but represents an ancient practice reinvented for our modern era. Deconstruction is an environmentally friendly (yet fiscally remunerative) alternative to traditional building demolition.
