Tiny circuit turns a hidden property of electrons into a working info channel
SUTD researchers, together with international collaborators, have built a chip that writes, sorts, and electrically reads information stored in the “valleys” of an atomically thin material—all at room temperature and without bulky laboratory optics.
Researchers expand simulation tool to help design the next generation of photonic and quantum devices
New framework enables researchers to model how light and electrons interact in metals, semiconductors and two-dimensional materials, paving the way for faster development of advanced chips, optical technologies and quantum devices.
Teaching AI to design optical surfaces using real-world imperfections
A study co-led by an SUTD researcher has developed an AI-powered deep-learning framework trained on experimental data rather than simulations, enabling faster and more accurate design of light-controlling nanostructures.
Stretching and squeezing diamond opens new path for ultra-precise quantum sensors
Researchers reveal a powerful new way to precisely tune quantum defects, opening the door to ultra-sensitive next-generation sensors.
Spectral slimming for single-nanoparticle plasmons
Researchers have developed a new strategy to overcome a long-standing limitation in plasmonic loss by reshaping light–matter interactions through substrate engineering.
Associate Professor Wu Lin elected Optica Fellow
For pioneering graphene-based plasmonic biosensors and quantum plasmonics, introducing plasma-inspired simulations that advanced quantum plasma modeling in solid-state systems.
