NTU College of Science attended its first in-person university symposium since the pandemic began. Organised by Anderson Serangoon Junior College (ASRJC), the ASRJC University Symposium 2022 gave its students an opportunity to explore the different higher education institutions available both in Singapore and abroad.
Scientists from NTU have recently discovered that Earth’s rising temperatures – due to global warming – are having a greater influence on atmospheric methane levels. Rising global temperatures are causing methane levels to increase, which in turn is leading to further climate warming.
Have you ever wondered how Spotify knows what new tunes to recommend to you? Or how Netflix can suggest another television series for you to binge-watch? It is all down to a branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning, where computer algorithms analyse...
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is often termed the blueprint of all life on Earth. Packed away in the nuclei of most cells, the genetic information stored in DNA contains instructions for all the functions, structures, and hereditary information of a living organism....
Nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction: A probabilistic modelling framework Over the last few months, reports of terrible floods in Peninsular Malaysia have been commonplace in the news. From the devastating ones in December 2021 that affected more than...
On 29 January, NTU College of Science (CoS) invited prospective students to tune into an online Career Talk via livestream and to bring with them their burning questions on university life in NTU, an academic path in Science, and what career prospects they could have...
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, but lower income households bore the brunt of the impact. According to The Straits Times, more than half of households earning less than $1,000 reported disruptions to their income during the circuit breaker in mid-2020. It...
A team of scientists, led by NTU School of Biological Sciences Prof Liang Zhao Xun, have demonstrated how the study on a family of recently discovered microbial metabolite, sungeidines, yielded unprecedented insights into the biosynthetic steps leading to the formation of anthraquinone-fused enediynes (AQEs)’ structure. The knowledge on the biosynthesis of AQEs will enable scientists to engineer the biosynthetic pathway to generate more potent and less toxic AQE derivatives for targeted cancer therapies.
