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 […]

The NUS research team behind the novel algae detection device is led by Assistant Professor Bae Sung Woo (centre) who is holding the smartphone platform. With him are two team members: Mr Thio Si Kuan (left) who is holding the microfluidic chip, and Miss Chiang Li Ching Elaine (right) A team of engineers from […]

The NUS School of Design and Environment, the Centre of Excellence in Modelling and Simulation for Next Generation Ports and Centre for Next Generation Logistics at the NUS Faculty of Engineering have signed MOU with The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research to conduct joint research and development activities.

NUS Engineering joins forces with the Keppel Data Centres Holdings Pte Ltd (Keppel Data Centres) and Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (SLNG) to develop a novel, energy-efficient and cost-effective cooling technology for data centres. This innovation could further pave the way for more sustainable and compact data centres. With the rapid expansion of cloud-based services, […]

A team of NUS researchers has developed a novel technology that could sensitively and accurately detect and classify cancer cells, as well as determine the disease aggressiveness from the least invasive biopsies. With this new technology called STAMP (Sequence-Topology Assembly for Multiplexed Profiling), comprehensive disease information can be obtained faster, at a much earlier stage […]

Associate Professor Praveen Linga from NUS Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering highlights the importance of mitigating carbon dioxide emissions as Singapore begins its post-pandemic recovery, and discusses the future potential of carbon capture technology. Read More

Most of today’s wearable devices are singularly connected to a user’s smartphone and transmit data via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals. These waves radiate outwards in all directions and most of the energy is lost to the surrounding area. This drastically reduces the efficiency of the wearable technology as most of its battery life is consumed […]

Huge amounts of water evaporate from water surfaces such as reservoirs and the open sea each day. To address this issue, especially in water scarce areas, researchers from NUS found an innovative way to harvest water from the humid air above water surfaces. The solution lies in a unique zinc-based water-absorbing hydrogel that was developed last […]

Rotated at 0.5 rpm, the experimental system on the left shows the hottest (white) part of the ring is fixed at the bottom as it moves. The reference on the right shows the hottest part of the ring moving in conjunction with its motion A ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from NUS Electrical and Computer […]

Doctors may one day be able to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of severe dementia, and monitor a patient’s response to treatment by doing a simple blood test. This could be made possible using the APEX (Amplified Plasmonic EXosome) system invented by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Designed to […]

Professor Liu Bin, Head of NUS Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has been awarded the 2019 American Chemical Society (ACS) Nano Lectureship Award for Asia/Pacific. Professor Liu’s innovative research focuses on the design and synthesis of organic nanomaterials and explores their applications in optoelectronic devices and biomedical research, including advances in solar cells, bioimaging, and cancer
