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.

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.

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.
