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.
Researchers unravel cell biology through artificial intelligence
Assoc Prof Javier G. Fernandez and PhD candidate Jyothsna Vasudevan from SUTD collaborated with National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University and successfully demonstrated the correlation between cytoskeleton organisation and nuclear position by turning to artificial intelligence.
Counterfeiting is a robust industry
This article from Society of Chemical Industry featured case studies of research done by EPD Associate Prof Joel Yang on tiny QR codes and SMT Assistant Prof Liu Xiaogang’s research on phosphorescence for security inks.
Achieving the reddest red: Schrödinger’s red
Researchers from A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, NUS and SUTD have collaborated to design and realise reds at the ultimate limit of saturation as predicted by theory, where the team worked together on conceptualisation methodology, fabrications, characterisations and simulations.
Deep Learning for Underwater Robots
Researchers in Singapore are training soft robots to effectively move through water using deep machine learning.
MOE launches engineering and technology scholarships for pre-university students
