Researchers are applying cellular automation to efficiently model phase change materials with multiple optical phases for next-generation photonics devices.

The novel acousto-electric sorting technology by SUTD provides a promising solution for segmenting extracellular vesicles subtypes by generating simultaneous acoustic and electric force fields, providing a fundamental tool for clinical research.

By giving the touch-and-inspect method a smart update, SUTD researchers have designed a sensor for autonomous cleaning robots that can quantify the cleanliness of a given area.

Direct-ink-writing-based 3D printing of microchannels on a 7 μm-thick elastomeric substrate was demonstrated to fabricate liquid metal microfluidic antennas with unprecedented deformability and tissue-adhesion.

Written by leading experts and researchers from SUTD and NTU, ‘3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing of Electronics: Principles and Applications’ is designed to be a one-stop guide for anyone interested in the 3D printing of electronics.

An integrated design optimisation and fabrication workflow opens new opportunities for tailoring the mechanical properties of soft machines.

Photonics researchers demonstrate 11-fold compression of light in time, introducing an important paradigm for light generation in advanced metrology, imaging and high speed optical communications.

SUTD researchers have used nanotechnology to create a unique print that displays a glasses-free 3D image under ordinary white light. The appearance of the image changes as the print is viewed from varying angles.

SUTD researchers have demonstrated a technology that allows users with camera phones to track the health of aquatic microorganisms—assessing water quality and drinkability in the process.

This novel approach enables fabrication of complex and customised soft robot components, reducing time, effort and errors.
