A thirst for learning, adaptability, an open mind and, lastly, having mentors and role models early on in life are the secrets to riding the Tech Waves, as shared by four alumnae at the “Celebrating CoDE Women Riding | The Waves of Tech” on 26 July held at College of Design and Engineering, NUS.  

  A fabric-based ‘battery of the future’ that draws its energy from the moisture in the air has been developed by a research team at the College of Design and Engineering, NUS (CDE). Made from a thin layer of non-woven fabric and other, mostly everyday materials like sea salt, the researchers say this breakthrough could

The novel bilayer graphene semiconductor used in the study allows electrons to flow together like water, potentially opening up a new generation of more efficient electronics.   A novel type of semiconductor made from two layers of ultra-clean atomically thin graphene has helped researchers build a new understanding of how electrons can flow like water,

  The National University of Singapore (NUS) has been named Asia’s best university in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) annual higher education ranking, while Nanyang Technological University (NTU) slipped several notches. In the ranking released on Thursday (June 9), NUS came in 11th globally, retaining its place from last year, while NTU took 19th place, down

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other smart technologies are revolutionising nearly every aspect of our healthcare ecosystem. From data management to novel treatment therapies that improve patient outcomes, AI continues to unlock new ways to optimise medical services and healthcare. On 18 March 2022, members from the Tan Jiak Kim Circle (TJK Circle) were invited for

SINGAPORE – The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have emerged as the top universities in Asia based on global rankings by subjects. Singapore has 23 university courses – 16 from NUS and seven from NTU – that made it to the global top 10 lists of the Britain-based Quacquarelli Symonds

  A new moisture-trapping film developed by researchers at the NUS College of Design and Engineering could make life cooler and more comfortable for healthcare workers who have to wear protective body suits. Using the principle of evaporative cooling, the film keeps the humidity level inside the PPE suits at low levels, helping to speed
