“National University of Singapore (NUS) scientists demonstrated a conceptual breakthrough by fabricating atomically precise quantum antidots (QAD) using self-assembled single vacancies (SVs) in a two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). Quantum dot confines electrons on a nanoscale level. In contrast …
News NUS researchers develop first-ever wooden robotic gripper that is driven by moisture, temperature and lighting
“Most robotic grippers are made using either soft plastics - to pick up objects without damaging them – that melt at high temperatures, or metals which are stiff and costly. A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), together …
News Perovskite solar cells invented by NUS scientists set new world record for power conversion efficiency
“These novel solar cells achieve an impressive stabilised efficiency of 24.35% - the highest for perovskite solar cells (active area of 1 cm2) to date Perovskite solar cells designed by a team of scientists from the National University of Singapore …
News NUS scientists develop a novel light-field sensor for 3D scene construction with unprecedented angular resolution
“Colour-encoding technique for light-field imaging has potential applications in fields such as autonomous driving, virtual reality and biological imaging. A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Faculty of Science, led by Professor Liu Xiaogang from the Department …
“Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore have developed a novel method to pristinely arrange rubidium atoms into arrays about as wide as a human hair with the use of optical tweezers. Using …
“Since its discovery more than 100 years ago, ferroelectric materials still garner much attention in research due to their wide-ranging applications, from data storage to renewable energy systems. Ferroelectric materials can generate an electric field and offer several benefits, such …
“Operationally fast compact sonar that incorporates sparsity-aware image processing could be used in underwater sensing or navigation. Underwater imaging sonars are an essential technology for ocean exploration. Biomimetic sonars that are inspired from marine mammals such as dolphins are an …
News NUS researchers devise revolutionary technique to generate hydrogen more efficiently from water
“A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have made a serendipitous scientific discovery that could potentially revolutionise the way water is broken down to release hydrogen gas - an element crucial to many industrial processes. The team …
“An international team comprising researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and LMU Munich (LMU) have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated a new form of quantum key distribution (QKD) that is secure even if the users are not …
“Monitoring surgical wounds after an operation is an important step to prevent infection, wound separation and other complications. However, when the surgical site is deep in the body, monitoring is normally limited to clinical observations or costly radiological investigations that …
