Uncovering How Radiation Damages Molecules Over Femtoseconds
Now, researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have performed the first experimental study showing how ionizing radiation alters organic molecules dissolved in water, over time-frames of just one quadrillionth of a second – a femtosecond.
Emerging opportunities in SERS: analyte manipulation and hybrid materials
Scientists in NTU have identified promising strategies to improve surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), namely via analyte manipulation and creating hybrid SERS platforms. Headed by Ling Xing Yi at NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, the group has shown that these two techniques are emerging strategies to address limitations found in traditional SERS platforms. These findings were reported in November 2018 in the journal Chemical Society Reviews.
NTU Physics professors win the 2019 Ig Nobel Prize
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have shown that while cockroaches contain magnetic particles they do not use them for navigation, contrary to what was previously believed.
Meet WorldSkills Singapore gold medalist, Ng Zi Xuan!
Ng Zi Xuan, currently a fourth year Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (CBC) undergraduate in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), won the Gold medal in Chemical Laboratory Technology at WorldSkills Singapore 2018. She went on to represent Singapore in the WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, Russia in August 2019. We spent some time with Zi Xuan where she generously shared her WorldSkills experience.
Tiny Kinks in Light Make An Optical Ruler
Two scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have demonstrated a new way to use near-infrared laser light to measure distances of a nanometer (one billionth of a meter), the shortest distance ever measured using a direct optical method.
SPMS congratulates the 2019 Nanyang Award winners
The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences congratulates the 2019 winners of the Nanyang Education Award and Nanyang Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2019 International Mathematics Competition!
From 28 July to 3 August 2019, a team of four NTU students participated in the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) for University Students, led by Team Leader Dr Fedor Duzhin. Congratulations to the winners!
Introducing Professor Simon Redfern, the new Dean of the College of Science
Professor Simon Redfern took the helm of the College of Science on the 1st of August 2019. He is also appointed President’s Chair in Earth Sciences. An Earth scientist and an accomplished experimental materials physicist, he received his MA and PhD in Mineral Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 1985 and 1989, respectively.
NTU Physics students at the 2019 PLANCKS competition
In May 2019, a team of four students from NTU participated in the PLANCKS competition, an annual international physics competition. This year, the competition was organized by the University of Southern Denmark and took place in Odense, Denmark. The NTU team placed 11 out of 34. Congratulations to all team members!
