A fully mechanical sensor converts applied force directly into fluidic actuation, giving soft robots the ability to sense and respond without the need for electronic processing or external power.

CDE-hosted symposium features 14 projects supported under the first joint funding call, in fields spanning AI, healthcare, advanced manufacturing and materials innovation.

In a breakthrough for high-performance and energy-efficient computing, researchers demonstrate novel probabilistic processors that accelerate complex optimisation tasks while consuming less energy.

Amid warnings of a higher-risk haze season, research at NUS CDE led by Assoc Prof Yu Liya is tracing the chemical fingerprints of airborne pollution to help Singapore prepare better.

At the Boeing University Innovation Leadership Development (BUILD) Programme 2026, three NUS teams were named winners after a week-long bootcamp and final showcase.

Through cross-border collaboration, PrimeDrive and Golf Hawks emerged as ambitious, human-centred ideas inspired by industry prompts.

From transport systems to urban climate, shared urban datasets are helping researchers unlock new insights, says NUS CDE’s Asst Prof Filip Biljecki.

STDCT will work with PUB, SGTech and the Singapore Water Association to test and validate water-efficient solutions for tropical data centre operations in Singapore.

Researchers from NUS CDE and Applied Materials have developed an ultra-thin film that could enable smaller, faster and more reliable computer chips.

Research strengths in environmental resilience and waste-to-resource technologies will contribute to TREASURES initiative to recover value from complex waste streams.

Collaboration will explore how tropical data centres can be designed for future AI, HPC and quantum workloads.
