Homeland engagement and host-society integration: A comparative study of new Chinese immigrants in the United States and Singapore by Zhou, Min, Liu, Hong

“…We find that new Chinese immigrants maintain emotional and tangible ties with China even as they are oriented toward resettlement in the hostland and that their transnational practices are similar in form but vary in magnitude, depending not only on diasporic positionality in the host society but also on bi-national relations. …”

The secret geographer: thinking aloud on legal engagements in scholar-activism by Brickell, K, Jeffrey, A, McConnell, F, Ahearn, A, Calkin, S, Klosterkamp, S

“…It arises from a collective desire for connection in an academy which has yet to grapple with what it means to support geographers in their justice-oriented legal endeavours. By beginning to unshroud the secrecy of such endeavours in geography, we hope the roundtable inspires others to think more and potentially share more on their varied legal engagements in scholar-activism moving forward.…”

Controllable broadband multicolour single-mode polarized laser in a dye-assembled homoepitaxial MOF microcrystal by He, Huajun, Cui, Yuanjing, Li, Hongjun, Shao, Kai, Chen, Banglin, Qian, Guodong

“…Here, we demonstrate a single crystal with multiple segments based on the host-guest metal-organic framework ZJU-68 hierarchically hybridized with different dye molecules generating controllable single-mode green, red, and near-infrared lasing, with the lasing mode mechanism revealed by computational simulation. The segmented and oriented assembly of different dye molecules within the ZJU-68 microcrystal causes it to act as a shortened resonator, enabling us to achieve dynamically controllable multicolour single-mode lasing with a low three-colour-lasing threshold of ~1.72 mJ/cm2 (approximately seven times lower than that of state-of-the-art designed heterostructure alloys, as reported by Fan F et al. …”
