Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 283-295, August 2026.Abstract Over the past two decades, gondola lifts have become central to interventions in urban Latin America's auto‐constructed peripheries. As cable car urbanism reshapes the city's edge, it raises fundamental questions about the notion of the “urban fabric” as a sociomaterial practice, an epistemology, and a site of politics.

Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings
City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...

The effect of seawater hardness on cotton fabric dyeing using reactive blue dye
Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 4, Page 583-594, August 2026.Abstract Oceans are an abundant source of water; their economic potential has not yet been fully exploited. In this context, the current study aims to apply seawater in the dyeing of cotton fabrics, evaluating the influence that total hardness has on the process results.
