Published Paper in Nature Journal
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Yang Shengyuan for the published paper in the Nature Journal.
It is the first experimental demonstration of an interesting quantum effect, called the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect. This effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until this published work.

3D microchannels promote self-assembly of ordered emulsions at low droplet concentrations
Team of SUTD researchers led by Assistant Professor Michinao Hashimoto has discovered an elegant way to achieve self-assembly of low density droplets in microfluidic flows using three dimensional (3D) microchannels.


SUTD Researchers Enhance Security in Proof of Stake Blockchain Protocols
SUTD researchers designed a generalised multiplicative weights algorithm to update individual validators’ profiles according to their voting behaviour, consensus outcome and collective blockchain welfare.


Researchers develop novel framework for tracking developments in optical sensors
SUTD researchers together with international researchers established a 3D technology map which systematically compares optical sensors.


SUTD researchers demystify centralization in cryptocurrency mining
The application of this theory in the currently evolving blockchain ecosystem unveiled incentives both for active and for newly entering miners to merge and act as single entities.


Optical security: Tunable-resonator upconverted emission color printing
The presented optical security devices have potential applications in deterring counterfeiting of important documents and packages of high-value medicines.


Researchers discover new charge transfer and separation process
“We first analysed chemical big data and spotted a pattern between molecular structures and fluorescent properties. After understanding this TICS process, we then designed a probe to prove this concept,” said Assistant Professor Liu.


SUTD uncovers the power of dynamically rewiring swarm robotic systems
“Given the explosion in the development of distributed/decentralized systems, this research shows that a dynamic rewiring of the interaction network is essential to the effective collective operations of these complex engineered systems at different time scales.”


SUTD researchers develop a hydrogel for enhanced cell encapsulation and delivery
The SUTD researchers developed the CNF hydrogel which allows for its transformation from a solid hydrogel to a fluid when subjected to stress, and back to a solid hydrogel in less than a minute.


How intelligent is artificial intelligence?
It may often remain unclear, whether the AI’s decision making behavior is truly ‘intelligent’ or whether the procedures are just averagely successful.
