Could a sensor on your watch tell you if you’re dehydrated?

Talking plants and listening toys are some of the inventive ideas to come out of the NUS Makerthon 2020.

The thinnest possible member of a poorly-understood class of materials is like nothing else scientists have seen before.

Materials chemistry researcher recognised for his scientific achievements and outreach to developing countries.

NUS and StarHub have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 12 December 2019 to jointly advance innovation in virtual reality and artificial intelligence solutions over StarHub’s 5G network in NUS’ net-zero energy building located at SDE.

During SDE's 50th anniversary, we revisit our past, pay tribute to the present and envision our shared future. Join us as we create the next chapter of our school and nation together.

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 […]

Asst Prof Tan Swee Ching and his team of researchers from the Dept of Materials Science and Engineering at NUS Faculty of Engineering have invented a novel way to lower the humidity in a room without using energy. They developed a hydrogel which, when combined with some chemicals and a thin carbon mesh, can absorb […]

Dean of NUS Engineering, Professor Aaron Thean, explains that two-dimensional (2D) materials like tungsten selenide may be used for cutting-edge transistors and resistive memories, and proposes the possibility to realise new ‘one-transistor one-resistor’ memories in this publication in Nature Communications.

Future magnon torque based devices such as this could allow for faster electronic gadgets that require less power and do not overheat 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 […]

Professor Novoselov remains at the forefront of an entirely new area of multidisciplinary research which was formed after his discovery of graphene, the world’s first two-dimensional material Researchers, students and other members of Singapore’s scientific community attended a lecture on 26 Nov by Professor Sir Konstantin Novoselov, Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor at NUS Materials […]

Jointly organised by the NUS Masters of Environmental Management (MEM) programme, the NUS Bachelor of Environmental Studies programme and the Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law, this year’s lecture on 28 November was co-organized with the Jane Goodall Institute Singapore as part of their ConservAction Week.
