Structural colour printing of 3D microscale objects by shrinking photonic crystals
The 3D-printed model of the Eiffel Tower, measuring less than half the width of a human hair at 39 micrometers, exhibits multiple colours due to the manner in which light interacts with the nanostructures that hold up the model.
SUTD Researchers Revolutionize 3D Printed Products with Data-Driven Design Method
SUTD demonstrated this new cost-effective, data-driven approach by designing and 3D printing an ankle brace that has varying degrees of rigidity to provide both comfort and support for the user.
New Approach for Modern Power Grids that Increases Efficiency, Reduces Cost
SUTD worked with international researchers to develop a novel approach to allow for a small, well-defined risk of constraint violation to overcome the challenges that come with conservative current approaches used in modern power grids.
SUTD’s Research on a Multi-Robot System Wins Outstanding Paper Award at IEEE MRS 2019
ORION is a first-of-its-kind multi-robot system made up of a wheeled ground unit, miniature and wall-climbing robots to form a scalable swarming system similar to ant colonies.
Researchers develop process flow for high-res 3D printing of mini soft robotic actuators
SUTD, SUSTech and ZJU researchers’ proposed process flow guides 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine maintenance and minimally invasive surgery.
Researchers’ review paper reveal insights into high quality fabrication of nanocomposites
SUTD together with research collaborators provide much needed analysis and review of the emerging research on particle reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites with selective laser melting, charting out possibilities for engineering applications.
Researchers demonstrate three-dimensional quantum hall effect for the first time
The three-dimensional quantum Hall effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until now by the Singapore University of Technology and Design together with international researchers.
Paradoxical Survival: Examining the Parrondo effect across biology
“Every cell, organism and species, and species assemblage and ecosystem, is necessarily mortal, yet the biosphere persists,” said Assistant Professor Cheong.
SUTD researchers develop a rapid, low-cost method to 3D print microfluidic devices
“By controlling the distance between the top and bottom substrates, we were able to precisely reduce the channel width up to around 30 microns.” said lead author Terry Ching, a graduate student from SUTD.
SUTD researchers developed a unique method of fabricating 3D porous structures
Researchers from SUTD’s Soft Fluidics Lab developed a novel 3D printing method to fabricate 3D porous models in one single step.
