The College of Science (CoS) held its second Innovation Day on 29 October where researchers showcased their groundbreaking research. Industry experts were also invited to share their valuable insights on how scientists can commercialise their innovations to...
Zig-zag light Light waves emanating from a lamp travel uniformly in all directions. When such waves strike an object, such as a mirror, light reflects. When traveling from air to water, light refracts. These familiar facts form the foundation for how light travels and...
Neurological disorders are increasingly common in older adults, often due to impaired nerve cell function. Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have uncovered new insights into ion channels, providing a deeper understanding of neurological...
Cells often create tiny liquid droplets—called coacervates—to gather and sort molecules without membranes. These structures help organise biochemical reactions in living cells, but understanding how they form and function has remained a challenge. Researchers from the...
Over the past decade, researchers have discovered highly unusual physics in twisted bilayer graphene, a two-dimensional composite material of two stacked graphene sheets, one rotated slightly with respect to the other. At certain "magic angles", some electrons in such...
The Global Connect Fellowship (GCF) at NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) is more than just a research opportunity, it’s an experience that shapes perspectives, sparks collaboration, and builds lifelong connections. Over the course of two to...
While solar cells made from perovskite materials offer a promising alternative to silicon-based solar cells, they currently have a shorter lifespan due to their sensitivity to moisture, oxygen, heat and light. However, a research team from NTU College of Science and...
Researchers from the School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding why some multiple myeloma patients stop responding to treatment. Their study, published in Nature Communications (1 September 2025), identifies a novel long...
Scientists from NTU School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology (CCEB) have found a potential new way to treat fungal infections. While studying the biological mechanisms of the fungus Candida albicans, the team discovered a protein sensor on its...
In July 2025, students from NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) embarked on a study trip to Switzerland, visiting some of the world’s most renowned scientific institutions: ETH Zurich, EPFL, and CERN. Over four days, they explored cutting-edge...
