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...
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...
Letian Yu (PhD, Physics and Applied Physics) investigates how Dirac quasiparticles behave in systems where energy is not conserved—an unconventional but increasingly relevant direction in modern physics. Through a combination of theoretical modelling and...
Chan Long Shan has designed a microwave diagnostic system for a next-generation fusion energy device for this final year project. This diagnostic will be used to characterise turbulence in burning plasma, a key phenomenon in achieving scientific breakeven. By...
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving problems far beyond the capabilities of today’s supercomputers. At the heart of these systems are qubits—particularly, fluxonium qubits, which require superinductors to preserve delicate quantum states. But conventional...
Writing in the scientific journal Earth’s Future, Dr. Benjamin Grandey, a Senior Research Fellow, and Professor Chew Lock Yue both at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore, together with collaborators present a novel approach that combines both ice-sheet modelling as well as expert assessment into a single projection.
Researchers from the College have been recognised as being some of the most influential scientists globally in Clarivate’s Highly Cited Researchers 2024 list. Clarivate, a United Kingdom-based data company, compiles an annual list that identifies and celebrates...
Nine SPMS students participates in the 2024 University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) in Bangkok.
Fireside Chat with Dr Serg Bell, co-organised by College of Science and Institute of Advanced Studies As part of its commitment to fostering research excellence, the College of Science (CoS) and the Institute of Advanced Studies had the privilege of hosting Dr Serg...
The 2024 NTU Physics Challenge was held successfully on 27 July, drawing 304 participants from 31 pre-university institutions.
