A team of researchers from NUS have invented a novel class of reconfiguration techniques that adaptively extends both the minimum power consumption and the maximum performance of digital circuits, well beyond common voltage scaling. Such extended adaptation allows digital silicon chips to operate at lower power during normal use, and at higher performance level when

A brand new book “Adaptive Digital Circuits for Power-Performance Range beyond Wide Voltage Scaling” has been published by Associate Professor Massimo Alioto, Saurabh Jain (Research Scientist) and Longyang Lin (Research Fellow) from the Green IC group. Published by Springer, the book focuses on highly-reconfigurable digital circuits with power-performance scaling beyond conventional voltage scaling, as necessary

Singapore‐based advanced microscopy startup, Phaos Technology Pte. Ltd., has launched its first disruptive microsphere‐assisted microscopy technology, OptoNano200, together with SIGMAKOKI Co., Ltd. (Japan), a global leading optical component manufacturer at Photonics West 2020, the leading event for the worldwide photonics industry, on 4 February 2020, in San Franscisco, California, USA. The OptoNano product, which is

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.

Tiny subcutaneous implants that can continuously measure a person’s blood glucose, heart rate and other physiological conditions are a Holy Grail of modern medicine. A team of NUS researchers has recently made a quantum leap into turning this dream closer to reality. They developed a new wireless reader that is so sensitive to minute changes

Modern computer memory encodes information by switching magnetic bits within devices. Now, a ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering has found a new efficient way of using ‘spin waves’ to switch magnetisation at room temperature for more energy-efficient spin memory and logic devices. Future magnon torque based devices such as this could

A new AI-powered system uSINE could reduce the pain and risk of complications for pregnant patients undergoing caesarean section by improving the accuracy in administering spinal anaesthesia. When NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Fellow Dr Ma Jun heard about the launch of the NUS Industry Liaison Office’s Graduate Research Innovation Programme (GRIP), he knew it would be the ideal

Best Student Presentation Award Congratulations to our Graduate student Shuyuan Shi from Professor Hyunsoo Yang’s research group was recently awarded the Best Student Presentation Award at the 2019 Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) Conference in Las Vegas. The conference includes a wide range of topic on recent developments in fundamental and applied magnetism and has

Researchers from NUS are among the world’s most highly cited researchers whose research in one or more fields have consistently supported and inspired other researchers globally. Of the 27 NUS researchers named in the 2019 global highly cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics, 4 are ECE faculty members. These NUS researchers were recognised by their peers as

A new class of sensor interfaces cuts down the design effort from months to hours, reduces circuit complexity by at least 30 times, while being highly robust against wide fluctuations in power harvested from the environment The Green IC research group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore’s
