“We developed a contactless shape setting mechanism to empower reversible 4D printing that is programmed by asymmetric swelling with heated ethanol and recover by dry heating. The capability of 3D-to-3D shape morphing and reversibility of our 4D-printing process promise great potential for different applications such as biomimetics and soft robotics”—Chua Chee Kai

“Despite ICTs having positive benefits for maintaining long-distance intimacies, digital asymmetries characterized by gaps in routines, emotional experiences and outcomes of ICT use can emerge between transnational family members. This study provides insights into the ‘expectation asymmetry’ and ‘autonomy asymmetry’ that Chinese ‘study mothers’ in Singapore experience during transnational communication.”--- Yang Wang

“Using tree ring data, this work reconstructs eight centuries of river discharge history for 16 Asian countries. The reconstructions show that megadroughts have occurred simultaneously in multiple adjacent river basins and reveal how rivers are influenced by the oceans. These results can guide inter-basin water management decisions.”--- Nguyen Tan Thai Hung
