Breakthrough Could Change Use of Microsensors Medically – Electrical and Computer Engineering

Asst Prof John Ho from the Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NUS Faculty of Engineering and the Institute for Health Innovation and Technology at NUS led a research team to develop a highly sensitive wireless reader that can monitor health indicators using microsensors that are tiny enough to be injected under the skin. The breakthrough can shift the paradigm in healthcare and be a trailblazer for the future of minimally invasive health monitoring situations.

First demonstration of a secure quantum network with untrusted quantum devices

An international team comprising researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and LMU Munich (LMU) have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated a new form of quantum key distribution (QKD) that is secure even if the users are not privy to the underlying quantum hardware. The work, paving the way for a more secure
