Researchers demonstrate three-dimensional quantum hall effect for the first time
The three-dimensional quantum Hall effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until now by the Singapore University of Technology and Design together with international researchers.


Paradoxical Survival: Examining the Parrondo effect across biology
“Every cell, organism and species, and species assemblage and ecosystem, is necessarily mortal, yet the biosphere persists,” said Assistant Professor Cheong.


Published Paper in Nature Journal
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Yang Shengyuan for the published paper in the Nature Journal.
It is the first experimental demonstration of an interesting quantum effect, called the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect. This effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until this published work.

Optical security: Tunable-resonator upconverted emission color printing
The presented optical security devices have potential applications in deterring counterfeiting of important documents and packages of high-value medicines.


Researchers discover new charge transfer and separation process
“We first analysed chemical big data and spotted a pattern between molecular structures and fluorescent properties. After understanding this TICS process, we then designed a probe to prove this concept,” said Assistant Professor Liu.

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.


SUTD launches premier research programme and enhances curriculum for all undergraduates
Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has launched an array of new programmes and initiatives to offer students greater flexibility and learning pathways. These new pathways will provide students with diverse options and greater flexibility in customising their curriculum to suit their interests.
