NUS researchers invent ‘humidity digester’ to keep rooms feeling cool at zero energy cost
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 […]
2D materials for 3D electronics
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.
