General Descriptor Sparks Advancements in Dye Chemistry
SUTD collaborates with international researchers to move away from inefficient trial-and-error developments in dye chemistry and quantitatively design luminescent materials.
To Make an Atom-Sized Machine, You Need a Quantum Mechanic
Here’s a new chapter in the story of the miniaturisation of machines: researchers in a laboratory in Singapore have shown that a single atom can function as either an engine or a fridge.
The four horsemen of the COVID-19 pandemic
It is clear that we must prioritize identifying and alleviating the conditions that made the Covid-19 pandemic possible. Even as it rages, scientists are already asking if it is more than just a virus, but rather a symptom emerging from something much deeper.
SUTD develops missing link to circular economy while tackling global waste
Researchers from SUTD have developed a process that allows for the production and degradation of almost any object within a circular economy using additive manufacturing and urban waste, the largest by-product of civilization.
The paradox of dormancy: Why sleep when you can eat?
Why do predators sometimes lay dormant eggs — eggs which are hardy, but take a long time to hatch, and are expensive to produce?
SUTD develops revolutionary reversible 4D printing with research collaborators
Researchers from SUTD worked with NTU to revolutionise 4D printing by making a 3D fabricated material change its shape and back again repeatedly without electrical components.
