SUTD researchers developed new methods to create microfluidic devices with fluoropolymers
A research team from the SUTD developed a simple method to fabricate microchannels using fluoropolymers.


SUTD researchers developed customizable microfluidic nozzles…
Researchers from the SUTD developed a modular approach to fabricate microfluidic axisymmetric droplet generators with distinct modules of 3D printed fittings, needles and tubes.


NTU and SUTD researchers discover asymmetric chemical reaction with intriguing reaction pathways
In essence, this work communicates a new synthetic ‘tool’ for chemists which operates in an unconventional and intriguing manner, paving the way for the design of other asymmetric reactions based on halogen-bonding interactions.


Multimaterial 3D printing used to develop fast response stiffness-tunable soft actuator
Researchers from the SUTD and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) proposed a paradigm to use finite-element simulations and hybrid multimaterial 3D printing to design and manufacture fast-response, stiffness-tunable (FRST) soft actuators which are able to complete a softening-stiffening cycle within 32 seconds.


Holographic color printing for optical security
Unlike regular diffractive optical elements that have a frosted-glass appearance and projects only single images, these new holographic colour prints can be a stronger deterrent to counterfeiters while looking pretty at the same time.
