$1m makerspace opens at SUTD as part of James Dyson Foundation’s plan to support Stem education
The 6,200 sq ft space is sponsored by the James Dyson Foundation, technology company Dyson’s global charitable foundation, as part of its $3 million plan to support Singapore’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) education.
Researchers turn to age-old molding technique to 3D-print cell-laden vascular models
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain to be one of the leading causes of mortality around the world. There is an urgent need for improved vascular models, anatomically and biologically, to advance our understanding of disease progression. Such understanding can lead to the development of new therapeutic interventions.
Why do landslides occur and will there be more in future?
Engineering experts tell The Straits Times that such incidents in Singapore are commonly caused by heavy rain. They say that with more frequent bouts of intense rainfall projected, more landslides may occur.
