A Water‐Triggered Sensor for Self‐Powered Flood Alarming
Urban floods related to global warming generally cause significant casualties. Traditional cable flood warning systems are costly, while wireless ones face power limitations. This research proposes a self‐powered flood sensor with a water‐triggered Galvanic battery, enabling rapid flood warnings with great promise of low cost and long service lifetime.

Energy‐Efficient Fabrication of Biomimetic Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure Applications
Inspired by nacre's “brick‐and‐mortar” structure, this work develops an energy‐efficient approach that utilizes ice‐templating technology as the structure framework and carbon mineralization for rapid CaCO3 production, resulting in a strong yet tough carbon mineralized material (CMM) under mild conditions while also fixing CO2.

Laser‐Induced Coal‐Based Porous Graphene as Anode Toward Advanced Lithium‐Ion Battery
A one‐step laser‐induced strategy is reported to prepare porous graphene by utilizing bituminous coal as a precursor (LIG‐B). Laser irradiation transforms coal into graphene, with small molecules from the polymer separating, recombining in gas and forming 3D porous graphene upon quick gas release.
